Trezor announced it will reduce its authorized reseller network to strengthen supply chain security, following reports of hardware implant attacks on Ledger wallets.

Trezor, a manufacturer of crypto hardware wallets, announced it will disqualify some authorized resellers starting January 1, 2027, to enhance supply chain oversight. This move comes in response to a recent hardware implant attack on competitor Ledger wallets, which exposed vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency wallet distribution chain. In an October 13 letter, Trezor Chief Commercial Officer Danny Sanders stated that the company could no longer adequately vet every partner in its existing distribution network and thus decided to restructure, sacrificing retail coverage for stricter supply chain control. Trezor emphasized that no compromised devices have been found in its network, and this adjustment is a preventative measure. Previously, Ledger confirmed that some of its wallets were implanted with unauthorized electronic components capable of stealing users' 24-word recovery phrases, leading to tens of millions of dollars in stolen funds and prompting retailers like MediaMarktSaturn to halt sales of Ledger products.
