Trezor says it received report of suspected hardware backdoor in Safe 5 wallets sold by reseller

Cryptocurrency hardware wallet maker Trezor said it received a report that a hardware backdoor was found in its Trezor Safe 5 sold by Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis. The company said the device may work in a way similar to tampered Ledger devices. Trezor said it has not verified the claim directly and has not yet received the device, but judged the report credible after reviewing photos and conducting a video interview. It urged customers who bought devices from CryptoBilis to move assets to a wallet created with a new seed.
