crypto.news and Coinfomania give conflicting accounts of whether Trezor has physically examined the suspect device(s) and what, if anything, was found.
What all sources agree on
- Trezor warned customers who purchased hardware wallets from reseller CryptoBilis about a suspected hardware implant.
- The warning concerns a Trezor Safe 5 device.
- No customer losses have been reported.
- Customers who bought from CryptoBilis since March 2026 are advised to transfer funds to new wallets with new recovery phrases.
- CryptoBilis was removed as an authorized Trezor reseller on October 9.
Where the reports disagree
1Whether Trezor has physically examined the reported device and what it found
Trezor has not yet physically examined the reported device, but said the information provided by the customer was credible enough to issue a warning.
Trezor has inspected several devices and found no signs of tampering so far, but the investigation continues.
What would settle it: Trezor's own statement or laboratory examination report on the specific device(s) in question.
What to make of it
Treat the core warning and advice to move funds as established, since both outlets agree on it; do not treat claims about whether Trezor has physically inspected the device(s) as settled until Trezor issues a clarifying statement, as the two reports directly conflict on this point.
