😧 Trezor Investigates Suspected Spy Module in Safe 5 Wallet

Trezor says a user in Indonesia reported a suspected spying device in a Safe 5 wallet purchased in August from former reseller CryptoBilis. The user provided photos and a description.

The alleged device was an extra circuit board fitted with a cellular module and antenna. It may have captured the recovery phrase displayed on the wallet and transmitted it over a mobile network when the device was switched on.

Trezor has not inspected the wallet or confirmed the module’s presence, and says it knows of no funds being stolen. Similar inserts were reportedly found in Ledger wallets sold by CryptoBilis. Trezor ended its relationship with the reseller on 9 October. For now, this is an unverified report.
