Security Center & Anti-Phishing Policy

Protecting Your Digital Assets Starts With Security Awareness.

Welcome to the Mars Hardware Wallet Security Center.

At Mars Hardware Wallet, we understand that purchasing a hardware wallet is an important step toward protecting your digital assets. As an independent retailer offering hardware wallets from brands including Ledger, Trezor, OneKey, and imKey, we are committed to helping customers make informed purchasing decisions and recognize potential security threats.

This guide outlines essential precautions against phishing scams, fraudulent communications, counterfeit products, and unauthorized access.

1. Official Store & Verified Communications

Cybercriminals may create fraudulent websites, fake customer service accounts, misleading advertisements, or impersonation profiles to deceive hardware wallet users.

To protect yourself, always verify the website address and the identity of anyone contacting you.

Important Security Notice

Mars Hardware Wallet will never ask you to disclose your recovery phrase, private keys, wallet PIN, or wallet credentials.

We do not request cryptocurrency transfers to unlock wallets, verify accounts, release refunds, or resolve security issues.

Always check the complete website URL before placing an order or entering payment information.

2. Our Most Important Security Rules

Your wallet's recovery phrase and private keys are essential to maintaining control over your digital assets.

Mars Hardware Wallet will NEVER:

  • Request your secret recovery phrase or private keys.

  • Ask you to enter your recovery phrase into a website, email form, or customer service chat.

  • Request photos or screenshots of your recovery phrase.

  • Ask you to transfer cryptocurrency to a so-called verification or security wallet.

  • Require remote access to your computer or mobile device to initialize a hardware wallet.

  • Ask you to approve unexpected blockchain transactions.

Remember: Your Recovery Phrase Is Private.

Recovery phrases may contain 12, 18, 20, 24, or other numbers of words depending on the manufacturer and wallet configuration.

Anyone who obtains your recovery phrase may be able to access your digital assets.

Never share it with anyone, including individuals claiming to represent Mars Hardware Wallet or a hardware wallet manufacturer.

3. Product Authenticity & Delivery Inspection

We encourage customers to inspect their hardware wallets carefully before setting them up.

Step 1 — Inspect the Packaging

Check your product upon delivery for:

  • Visible damage or signs of unauthorized opening.

  • Unexpected accessories or handwritten recovery phrases.

  • Missing components listed by the manufacturer.

  • Packaging inconsistencies compared with the manufacturer's official documentation.

Packaging designs and security features vary by brand and product model. An intact box alone does not guarantee authenticity.

Step 2 — Verify the Device

Follow the specific manufacturer's official initialization and authenticity verification instructions.

Some manufacturers provide built-in authenticity checks or other security verification methods.

Never rely solely on packaging appearance to determine whether a device is genuine.

Step 3 — Create Your Own Wallet

For a new wallet, follow the manufacturer's official instructions to generate and securely back up your own recovery phrase.

Never use a prewritten recovery phrase supplied on a card, piece of paper, or unsolicited message.

If your device displays unexpected setup instructions or appears already configured, stop the setup process and contact the appropriate support team.

4. Download Wallet Software Safely

Only download wallet management software, applications, and firmware from official manufacturer websites or verified distribution channels.

For your convenience, the official manufacturer websites include:

Before installing software:

  • Verify the exact website domain.

  • Avoid downloads from suspicious advertisements or third-party websites.

  • Check the publisher of mobile applications.

  • Follow manufacturer-provided firmware installation instructions.

  • Never enter your recovery phrase into unfamiliar software.

Manufacturer websites, downloads, and verification procedures may change. Always refer to the latest official security documentation.

5. Recognizing Phishing Scams

Phishing attacks often attempt to create fear or urgency.

Common examples include:

Fake Security Alerts

Messages claiming your wallet has been compromised and requiring immediate recovery phrase verification.

Fake Customer Support

Individuals impersonating technical support representatives and requesting wallet credentials.

Fraudulent Websites

Websites using logos, layouts, and domain names resembling legitimate hardware wallet providers.

Malicious Wallet Applications

Unofficial software designed to steal recovery phrases or trick users into authorizing transactions.

Fake Rewards and Airdrops

Unsolicited promotions requiring wallet connections, recovery phrase disclosure, or suspicious transaction approvals.

If you encounter any of these situations, stop interacting with the suspicious party and verify the information through a trusted official channel.

6. Reporting Suspicious Activity

If you discover a website, social media profile, advertisement, or communication impersonating Mars Hardware Wallet, we encourage you to report it.

Security Contact: [Insert your verified security email]

When submitting a report, please include relevant information such as:

  • Suspicious website URL.

  • Screenshots of fraudulent messages.

  • Social media account or profile links.

  • Description of the incident.

  • Relevant order reference, if applicable.

Never include your recovery phrase, private keys, wallet PIN, or passwords in a report.

We will review reports received through our support channels and, where appropriate, may report suspected impersonation or fraudulent activity to relevant platforms or service providers.

If you believe your wallet credentials have already been compromised, consult your wallet manufacturer's official security guidance immediately.

7. Our Role as an Independent Retailer

Mars Hardware Wallet is an independent hardware wallet retailer offering products from multiple manufacturers.

Product names, trademarks, and logos belong to their respective owners.

Unless expressly stated and independently verified, our store should not be interpreted as the manufacturer or official technical support provider for any listed brand.

Manufacturer-specific technical assistance, authenticity verification, firmware updates, and device security instructions should be obtained through the respective manufacturer's official support channels.

8. Your Security Is a Shared Responsibility

Hardware wallets are designed to help protect cryptographic private keys, but no product or security procedure can eliminate every possible risk.

Your security also depends on responsible recovery phrase storage, careful transaction verification, safe software practices, and awareness of emerging threats.

Mars Hardware Wallet is committed to providing accessible product information and helping customers identify potential scams.

Stay Informed. Stay Vigilant. Protect What Matters.
