🚨 FROM LEDGER TO TREZOR, ANOTHER SCANDAL: CAN BUYING A HARDWARE WALLET DIRECTLY FROM A RESELLER GET YOU A TRACKING CHIP? 🥶🔐
The CryptoBilis nightmare strikes again! Following the earlier Ledger wallet tampering scandal, Trezor has just issued a stark warning: A Trezor Safe 5 device purchased through this reseller in August 2026 was found to have malicious hardware added to it in an attempt to steal users’ assets!
📊 BREAKING DOWN THE TACTICS & THE LEVEL OF DANGER:
Sophisticated tactics: An added secondary circuit board can “read” the device screen directly and automatically transmit the recovery phrase (Seed Phrase) over a mobile network whenever the user powers on the wallet.
The company’s response: Although Trezor hasn’t physically inspected the device itself, it considers the risk very high and has issued an early warning. It had also removed CryptoBilis from its authorized reseller list following the Ledger controversy.
Scope of impact: No reports of asset losses have been recorded so far. However, anyone who has bought a Trezor wallet through the CryptoBilis reseller since March 2026 is at risk!
- A FIELD PERSPECTIVE FOR DEGENS:
Urgent action: If you bought through this channel, immediately transfer all your assets to a completely new wallet with a completely new Seed Phrase. Absolutely do not reuse the old recovery phrase, as it was exposed the moment the device was powered on!
Golden rule: Always order your hardware wallet directly from the manufacturer’s official website. Don’t risk your entire fortune just to save a few hundred thousand dong or for the convenience of buying through sketchy middlemen.
