Trezor Confirms No Trezor Account or Funds Were Compromised

The breach, first highlighted by renowned blockchain and crypto security investigator ZachXBT and later confirmed by crypto security firm Scam Snifer, led to widespread concern within the crypto community. SatoshiLab’s thorough investigation, shared via a Medium post, confirmed that the unauthorized access occurred at 11:53 PM on March 19, despite stringent security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA) and a robust password in place.

The company reassured its users, stating, “We want to stress here that the security of all our products remains unaffected. This incident has not impacted or compromised the security of Trezo’r hardware wallets or our other products. Your Trezo’r device and Trezo’r Suite remain safe.”

The Phishing Attack: A Calculated Scheme

SatoshiLabs further unraveled the complexity of the phishing attack, which had been in preparation for weeks. Beginning on February 29, 2024, the attackers masqueraded as a reputable entity within the crypto sector, engaging in genuine discussions and gradually building a convincing online presence. This elaborate ruse led to a scheduled interview with Trezor’s CEO, during which a malicious link was shared under the pretense of a Calendly invitation.

The subsequent interactions revealed the phishing nature of the attack, but not before the attackers had gained enough trust to attempt another meeting. It was during this time that the breach was executed, leading to the unauthorized promotion of fraudulent crypto opportunities and malicious links.

Response and Recovery

Despite the sophisticated nature of the attack, Trezor’s swift response and existing security measures prevented any compromise of its hardware wallets or user funds. The incident has sparked a broader discussion on the importance of vigilant security practices in the crypto community, especially regarding phishing attacks.

As the crypto world continues to navigate through the challenges of security and trust, this incident serves as a reminder of the constant vigilance required by individuals and companies alike. Trezor’s transparency and quick action in addressing and clarifying the situation reinforce their commitment to user safety and security in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
