Cryptocurrency wallet company **Trezor** reported on Friday a suspected hardware implant in a device sold by Malaysian reseller **CryptoBilis**, urging customers to move their funds and take appropriate security steps.

## No Loss of Funds Yet

Trezor stated on X that it received a responsible disclosure from a customer involving a single Safe 5 device sold by CryptoBilis.

The company said that it hasn’t received the device for forensic examination, but it considers the customer’s account credible based on the details provided.
