Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read SafePal against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
Read this first
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.
unverifiable
2 claimsNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

partially supported
2 claimsThe cited evidence supports part of the claim but not all of it.
- #3[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in section: Douyin (Chinese TikTok) Tampered Hardware Wallet Scam (2025)
“While this incident involves a device branded or sold as a SafePal product, the tampering appears to have occurred through an unauthorized third-party seller in the Douyin marketplace, not through SafePal's official supply chain.”
reviewerThe Douyin tampered wallet was a SafePal productThe SafePal branding link rests on secondary sources; the primary Cointelegraph source does not name SafePal, and the Outposts link is dead. Details (SlowMist quotes, Huiwang, 23pds) are confirmed. The sentence on SafePal recommending official channels was not verified. - #7[partially supported][awaiting moderator]in the timeline
“Kraken Security Labs discovers tamper-detection bypass, firmware downgrade vulnerability, and GPL violations in SafePal S1.”

reviewerFake Firefox extension live from at least Feb 16, 2021 for about seven months, phishing domain safeuslife.com, ~$4,000 lossCore claims match. The SafePal alert date of Sept 30, 2021 was not independently fetched. - #6[confirmed][no action needed]in section: Hardware Security Flaws (Kraken Security Labs, 2020-2021)
“disclosing three categories of vulnerabilities discovered in November 2020”
reviewerKraken report: published Feb 16, 2021; vulnerabilities discovered November 2020Matches. Minor nuance: 2020-11-18 is the disclosure-to-vendor date, and the timeline says 'discovers'. Kraken also says SafePal refused its source code request, which the page's 'response not publicly documented' omits.
How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
