Original: Crypto thieves sell hardware wallets with secret eSIM
Fraudsters are selling cryptocurrency hardware wallets that have been secretly fitted with a hidden eSIM, letting them intercept transactions and steal users' funds. German tech outlet Heise reports the scheme, in which devices appear legitimate but contain covert mobile connections used to relay sensitive data. Security-minded crypto users are being urged to buy wallets only from official manufacturers and verify devices before use.
