Where the reports disagree

1Whether Trezor has physically examined the reported device and what it found

What would settle it: Trezor's own statement or laboratory examination report on the specific device(s) in question.

What to make of it

Treat the core warning and advice to move funds as established, since both outlets agree on it; do not treat claims about whether Trezor has physically inspected the device(s) as settled until Trezor issues a clarifying statement, as the two reports directly conflict on this point.

Per Cryptonomist, Trezor considers the report credible but says it has not yet physically examined the device, and no CryptoBilis buyer has reported losses so far.
