What happened
Trezor has cut its reseller network by 80% after finding more spy implants in wallets sold by Malaysian vendor CryptoBilis, with only 20% of vendors meeting its new sourcing and access rules. It says an update released on November 11 changes the order of display commands so the implants no longer capture the seed phrase, but it still advises CryptoBilis customers to move funds to a new wallet because backups captured earlier remain at risk. Three Trezor Safe 5 units have been found implanted, all bought between August 20 and September 23, and Trezor says no funds have been stolen.
