Trezor Confirms Spy Implants in 3 Hardware Wallets, Cuts Resellers by 80%

Trezor reported the discovery of three tampered Safe 5 wallets, an approximately 80% reduction in resellers, and a firmware update blocking the identified implants. CryptoBilis buyers should still move funds to new wallets, and purchases from March onward qualify for replacements. Hardware wallet maker Trezor said on Nov. 12 that three Safe 5 devices bought from CryptoBilis, a former authorized reseller in Southeast Asia, contained unauthorized hardware implants. Its blog post on the investigation detailed a firmware update and stricter distribution controls . Version 2.13.1, released Nov. 11, prevents the identified implants from capturing information by updating the software that runs the device, the company said. All three affected devices were bought between Aug. 20 and Sept. 23 through CryptoBilis directly or via its Tokopedia and Shopee stores.
