What happened
Trezor has issued a security notice about a suspected hardware implant in a Safe 5 bought through CryptoBilis, a reseller it removed from its authorised network on 9 October. A customer in Indonesia reported an extra board with a cellular module and antenna between the main board and screen, allegedly capturing the recovery phrase shown on the display and sending it over a mobile network. The device is going to Trezor's security lab, so the implant is unconfirmed, but all Trezor devices bought from CryptoBilis from March 2026 onward are covered as a precaution. No fund losses have been reported by CryptoBilis buyers.
