SafePal is a hardware and software cryptocurrency wallet founded in 2018 by Veronica Wong and incubated by Binance Labs, with over 10 million claimed users. The platform has been surrounded by multiple serious security incidents including a malicious Firefox extension that impersonated the wallet for seven months in 2021, a Binance-backed Launchpad token (SFP), hardware vulnerabilities disclosed by Kraken Security Labs, and a $6.5–7 million theft linked to a tampered hardware wallet sold via the Chinese platform Douyin (TikTok China). SafePal itself has not been hacked directly, but its brand has been repeatedly exploited by third-party threat actors, and ZachXBT has documented its wallets appearing in fund-laundering flows.
avoid.net/trezor→86/100[LOW RISK]Trezor is a legitimate Prague-based hardware wallet manufacturer (SatoshiLabs) and one of the oldest in the industry, but it has accumulated a significant threat ecosystem around its brand. A January 2024 breach of its third-party support portal exposed contact data for approximately 66,000 users, which subsequently fueled targeted phishing campaigns delivered via email, physical mail, and fake apps. Trezor hardware devices have also been subject to disclosed physical attack vectors, including an alleged unpatchable flaw in the STM32 microcontroller used in the Trezor T model.
