Trezor reduces resellers as a preventive measure following Ledger tampering reports

Trezor announced it would reduce its number of resellers as a "preventive step, taken out of an abundance of caution," following reports of malicious implants in competitor Ledger devices. Trezor stated there is "not a single piece of evidence that [its] devices have been compromised," but CCO Danny Sanders confirmed notifying certain resellers for removal from authorized lists on Jan. 1 and halting shipments starting Tuesday, citing "recent supply-chain incidents." This follows Ledger confirming at least one device from a Southeast Asian reseller, CryptoBilis, contained an unauthorized hardware implant that exposed recovery phrases, potentially leading to $72 million to $86 million in user losses.
