TREZOR WALLETS ALSO COMPROMISED WITH IMPLANTS
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
Hardware hacker Joe Grand found implants in a Trezor One and a Trezor Model T bought from unauthorized sellers, contradicting Trezor's public claim that none of its devices had been compromised, despite Grand reporting the findings in August. The attackers replaced each device's microcontroller with malicious firmware derived from open source that displayed one of a dozen pre-generated seed phrases while passing integrity checks against a copy of the legitimate firmware stored on an external microSD card. Unlike the Ledger implants, which exfiltrated real seeds over a cellular link, these relied on predictable seeds, and Trezor's move to cut authorized resellers suggested the company feared a similar shift into trusted supply channels.
