Trezor Detects Wallet Hardware Implants
Trezor, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer, has reduced its reseller network by about 80% after discovering seed-stealing hardware implants in three Safe 5 wallets. The company released a firmware update to prevent implants from capturing sensitive wallet information. The investigation covered devices purchased between August and September 2026, and affected customers must transfer their funds to newly generated wallets using fresh recovery phrases. No evidence of tampering was found in devices sold through other resellers or in other wallet models.
