Original title: Trezor Warns of Suspected Spy Implant That Could Steal Crypto Wallet Recovery Phrases
Trezor has not verified the device, and no CryptoBilis customer has reported lost funds to it.
Trezor issued a warning after an Indonesian customer reported a suspected hardware implant in a Safe 5 wallet bought through Tokopedia from former reseller CryptoBilis in August 2026. The report, made on October 28 with photos and a video interview, describes a board between the main board and display with a cellular module that could capture screen contents, including recovery phrases shown during setup. Trezor has not examined the device itself. The warning covers all Trezor models bought from CryptoBilis from March 2026 onward. CryptoBilis was removed from the authorized network on October 9 after reports of tampered Ledger wallets.
Unconfirmed: The implant is a customer report; Trezor has not verified the device or its claimed cellular capture capability.

- Unused wallets should stay uninitialized and not receive existing phrases.
- Trezor is offering replacements and asks buyers to keep devices for investigation.
