TREE NEWS update: Trezor said it is treating one report of an implanted Safe 5 bought from reseller CryptoBilis as credible before examining the device, while four CryptoBilis-bought Trezors checked so far showed no tampering. The hardware wallet maker is asking anyone who bought from the reseller since March to move to a new seed.
Trezor Flags One Credible Report of Implanted CryptoBilis Safe 5
The asymmetry matters: Trezor is urging seed rotation for every CryptoBilis buyer since March while only one device has been deemed credible and four tested units came back clean. That gap between verified evidence and precautionary advice reflects how hardware wallet trust works — a single compromised unit in a reseller channel undermines the assumption that any device from that channel can be trusted, regardless of test results. The open question is whether additional tampered units surface as more devices are examined, and whether other resellers face similar scrutiny.
