🚨 One of the biggest attacks ever seen on physical crypto wallets has just happened. Imagine you store your Bitcoins in the option most people consider the safest on the market and, suddenly, they’re gone with nobody ever touching your device. That’s exactly what happened to Coldcard users. More than $116 million (about 1,816 BTC) was drained from over 5,200 addresses. But how was this possible? The culprit is not the Bitcoin network. The villain in this story was a Coldcard software update made back in 2021. That update ended up "breaking" the system’s randomness when creating those 12 or 24 recovery words (your seed). With the words generated in a less random way, the hackers were able to discover patterns, test valid combinations, and empty the accounts from a distance. 🛑 What you need to do right now: Coinkite, the manufacturer of the Coldcard, admitted the mistake and issued a very clear warning: if you created your wallet during the period affected by that update, transfer your funds immediately to a new wallet, with a fresh seed generated in a 100% secure environment. The takeaway 🧠 This big scare brings back the old debate about self-custody (being your own bank). Having a hardware wallet is still one of the best paths, but in the end, our security also depends on the quality of the code from the companies that make these devices. Interestingly, despite the seriousness of the case, the market barely blinked: Bitcoin and Ethereum prices stayed almost unchanged. Do you use a Coldcard, or do you know someone who does? Share this alert so nobody makes a careless mistake! 👇🔑 (Tip: If you’re posting on Instagram or LinkedIn, you can adjust the hashtags at the end, like #Bitcoin #SegurançaDigital #Criptomoedas #Coldcard $AAPLB $GOOGLB #)
