Trezor X account hacked with fake presale token swap.
Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor Official X Tag has published a series of malicious posts suggesting fraudulent pre-sale token offerings.
Independent blockchain sleuth ZachXBT tracked his 528,000 followers on X to a suspected breach of Trezor on March 19 at X. The crypto security service's fraud sniffer reported the suspicious activity 10 minutes later.
Several posts from the official Trezor on Solana networks included links that directed users to wallet leaks, asking users of the fake Trezor “$TRZR” presale token to send money to Solana's wallet address.
Additionally, ZachXBT noted that the hacker stole approximately $8,100 from Trezor's Zapper account.
“Just imagine stealing $8.1K from Trezor Account (includes 25% drain fee),” he wrote in a series of comments.
The posts also include references to a new memecoin on Solana called Slerf, which will likely be used as a tactic to garner more engagement. However, many of the offending posts were removed minutes after they were uploaded.

Trezor's latest incident was described as a major loss by crypto analyst and X user John Holmquist, who speculated that the wallet manufacturer did not use two-factor authentication (2FA) to secure his X account.
“Please take security seriously,” he stressed.
Others, like X User Pleader, find it ironic that a security-focused hardware wallet company can't maintain its own social media accounts.
The fact that they don't take their own advice is “gross, funny, and embarrassing,” added X user Digital Hustler.
Cointelegraph reached out to SatoshiLabs – the company behind Trezor – but did not receive an immediate response.
Trezor suffered a security breach in January that exposed the contact information of nearly 66,000 users.
Trezor Since its launch in 2012, it has sold more than two million hardware bags to customers, according to the company's website. The company currently sells three products that store more than 9,000 coins offline for users.
