Trezor, a hardware wallet manufacturer, recently faced a security incident on its official social media account.
Suspicious posts promoting fraudulent presale token offerings, suspected to be the result of a SIM-swap attack, were shared by the account. Independent blockchain researcher ZachXBT alerted his followers, and Crypto security service Scam Sniffer also flagged the activity.
The posts advertised a fake presale token called ” $TRZR” on the Solana network, urging users to send funds to a specific Solana wallet address. Links included in the posts directed users to wallet drainers. Additionally, the hacker allegedly stole approximately $8,100 from Trezor’s Zapper account.
The incident sparked criticism from the crypto community, with users questioning Trezor’s security measures. Some pointed out the irony of a security-focused hardware wallet firm failing to secure its own social media account.

Despite attempts to remove the posts promptly, concerns about account security remain unresolved.
Trezor had previously experienced a security breach in January, which exposed the contact information of nearly 66,000 users. Despite these setbacks, Trezor remains a prominent player in the hardware wallet market, having sold over 2 million devices since its launch in 2012.
