Crypto thieves selling hardware wallets with hidden eSIM

Original: Crypto thieves sell hardware wallets with secret eSIM

Criminals are selling crypto hardware wallets fitted with a secret eSIM, according to a report by German tech outlet heise. The hidden chip can silently relay victims' wallet details or seed phrases to attackers, making the devices look genuine while draining funds. The finding is drawing attention among security researchers and crypto users worried about counterfeit hardware wallets.

Why now: A newly reported supply-chain attack on hardware wallets threatens crypto holders' funds and raises trust concerns about buying wallets from third parties.
