   Trezor Warns Safe 5 Owners Who Bought From CryptoBilis About Possible Hardware Implant

   Trezor said it received a credible report that a hardware implant was found inside a Safe 5 wallet purchased from Indonesian reseller CryptoBilis in August 2026. The implant, described as an extra circuit board with a cellular module and antenna placed between the main board and the screen, allegedly reads the screen—including the wallet’s backup phrase—and transmits it over a mobile network when the device is plugged in. Trezor has not yet examined the device but has treated the report as credible based on the customer’s description and a video interview. The company urged anyone who bought a Trezor wallet from CryptoBilis since March 2026 to move funds to a new wallet with a new recovery phrase and not to reuse the old phrase on any device. No CryptoBilis buyer has reported a loss of funds to Trezor. The incident follows Ledger’s own investigation of similar implants in devices sold through CryptoBilis. Trezor removed CryptoBilis as a reseller on October 9 after the incident.

   Trezor Urges Safe 5 Buyers to Move Funds After Report of Unauthorized Implant

   Trezor has warned customers who purchased its Safe 5 hardware wallets from the former authorized reseller CryptoBilis since March to transfer their funds. The warning follows a report from an Indonesian customer who found an unauthorized circuit board inside a Safe 5 bought on Tokopedia in August. The suspected implant could capture screen‑displayed data, including wallet recovery phrases, and transmit it via a cellular network. Trezor’s chief commercial officer, Danny Sanders, said the company had not yet examined the device but treated the report as credible and preferred to warn users pre‑emptively. While Trezor has not confirmed where the tampering occurred, it acknowledged that its existing safeguards—such as seals and packaging—are not sufficient alone. The alert comes after similar incidents involving Ledger wallets sold through CryptoBilis, where an unauthorized implant was confirmed. Trezor has been reviewing its hardware protections and plans to reduce its reseller network.
