Trezor has issued a security warning to hardware wallet customers after a suspected cellular implant was discovered inside a Safe 5 device. The company is investigating the incident as a possible supply-chain compromise, with initial reports pointing to a unit purchased through CryptoBilis.
As a precaution, Trezor has urged customers who bought Safe 5 wallets from CryptoBilis to move their cryptocurrency to a new, uncompromised wallet. Laboratory testing has not yet confirmed the reported compromise, and the origin and scope of the suspected tampering remain under active investigation.
The incident highlights ongoing concerns about physical security and supply-chain risks in hardware wallet distribution, though no specific cryptocurrency assets have been identified as directly affected at this stage.
