Trezor, the well‑known maker of hardware cryptocurrency wallets, has confirmed that a key partner has suffered a second data‑breach incident. The breach, reported by the company’s security team, involves the same third‑party service that Trezor uses for cloud‑based firmware distribution and backup management. According to the statement, the attack exposed personal data and authentication credentials of the provider’s customer base, but the breach did not directly compromise the cryptographic keys stored on Trezor devices.

The incident follows a similar breach that occurred last year, raising concerns about the resilience of the supply chain that underpins many crypto‑wallet ecosystems. Trezor’s spokesperson said the company is working closely with the affected vendor to assess the scope of the compromise and to implement additional safeguards. While the company has not identified any evidence that the breach could affect the security of its hardware wallets, it has urged users to monitor their accounts for unusual activity and to ensure that firmware updates are obtained only from official channels.

In a brief conclusion, Trezor reiterated its commitment to maintaining the integrity of its devices and the safety of users’ digital assets. The company will continue to collaborate with cybersecurity authorities and its partners to mitigate any potential risks arising from the breach, and it has pledged to keep customers informed of any developments that may impact wallet security or data privacy.
