# Trezor Investigation Update: Malicious Circuit Boards Found in Three Safe 5 Wallets

Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor provided an update on its investigation into hardware tampering involving devices sold by reseller CryptoBilis. After inspecting devices from 48 users who contacted the company, Trezor confirmed that three Trezor Safe 5 wallets sold between August 20 and September 23, 2026, through CryptoBilis and its Tokopedia and Shopee stores contained malicious circuit boards. The implants, concealed between the motherboard and display, could capture recovery seeds and passphrases shown on the screen and transmit them to attackers’ servers via cellular networks. No user funds have been reported stolen to date. Trezor has reduced its reseller network by approximately 80%, tightened procurement and warehousing controls, and released firmware version 2.13.1 on November 11 to block data capture by the identified implants. Customers who purchased devices from CryptoBilis since March 2026 are eligible for a free replacement or refund.
