Crypto thieves selling hardware wallets rigged with hidden eSIM
Original: Crypto thieves sell hardware wallets with secret eSIM
Hardware wallets have been found for sale containing a secret embedded eSIM, apparently planted by thieves to siphon cryptocurrency from buyers. The eSIM can quietly transmit wallet seed phrases or other sensitive data to attackers. Security outlet Heise reports the scheme, and the finding has prompted warnings that buyers should only purchase crypto hardware wallets directly from manufacturers and verify packaging and device integrity.
Why now: News that tampered crypto wallets can drain funds has alarmed cryptocurrency users about supply-chain security.
