What Decrypt reports
Trezor is ending reseller authorizations on January 1, 2027, after Ledger confirmed that wallets sold by a Southeast Asian retailer carried a hidden implant that sent out users' recovery phrases.

CoinDesk has also published a related report, providing another attributed account to compare without treating repetition as proof.
What remains unknown
