Crypto thieves selling hardware wallets with hidden eSIM

Original: Crypto thieves sell hardware wallets with secret eSIM

Security reports describe tampered cryptocurrency hardware wallets being sold with a secretly embedded eSIM. The hidden module can silently relay wallet data or intercept information, letting thieves drain victims' crypto funds even when owners believe their keys are stored offline. Buyers are being warned to purchase devices only directly from manufacturers and verify packaging and firmware.

Why now: Hardware wallet owners are alarmed that even offline storage devices can be compromised before purchase.
