Trezor Ends Reseller Partnerships Amid Security Concerns
- Trezor will terminate reseller authorizations on January 1, 2027, and halt new stock shipments.
- Ledger‘s Donjon team discovered a spy implant in wallets sold by Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis.
- The implant captures recovery phrases and transmits them via LTE without altering the wallet’s appearance or function.
- Onchain investigator Specter identified over $86 million in suspected thefts linked to compromised wallets.
- Trezor claims no evidence of their devices being compromised and describes the reseller cut as precautionary.
Trezor has decided to end partnerships with resellers by January 2027 as a preventive measure following Ledger’s discovery of a security breach involving third-party sales channels. The decision aims to protect customers and ensure tighter control over its supply chain.
Despite the lack of evidence against Trezor devices, this move reflects heightened vigilance in response to potential threats from unauthorized components found in competitor products. (Source)
