TREZOR CONFIRMS HIDDEN IMPLANTS IN 3 WALLETS — A FIRMWARE FIX ISN'T ENOUGH
Imagine buying a genuine hardware wallet, only to discover someone had secretly modified it before it reached you
That's no longer just a hypothetical risk
Trezor has confirmed malicious hardware implants in 3 Safe 5 devices purchased from CryptoBilis between August 20 and September 23
The implants could capture recovery phrases displayed on the device and transmit them over a mobile network
$BTC
🔐 Trezor released firmware 2.13.1 to block the implants identified so far
But there's a problem software can't undo
If your recovery phrase was already captured, updating the firmware won't make those keys secret again
⚠️ Trezor still advises anyone who bought its devices from CryptoBilis since March 2026 to move funds to a new wallet with a completely new recovery phrase and contact official support
No affected customer has reported losing funds, and Trezor found no implants in devices from other sellers or models during its investigation
The lesson goes beyond Trezor
Your hardware wallet can be genuine while its supply chain has been compromised
