@cbcnews: Hackers reportedly drained more than $100 million US worth of bitcoin from Coldcard hard wallets, according to blockchain intelligence firm Galaxy Research. Created by Toronto-based company Coinkite, the wallet is marketed as 'cold storage' for bitcoin users who want to keep their keys offline and has been widely praised by users and security experts as one of the most secure places to store bitcoin. It's still unclear who is behind the attacks. #Bitcoin #Coldcard #Hacking #CBCNews
The bitcoin network nor the device technically got hacked. The developers of the device’s software incorrectly implemented the randomness algorithm for how wallets are generated. Meaning people were using wallets with predictable seed phrases. The hack occurred because someone noticed this flaw and were able to access the wallet by generating recovery phrases. Since all wallets exist on a decentralized network, even without the devices compromised, someone logged in. This because the devices don’t actually store the wallets, the networks do. The devices merely store the keys that access them. If the keys can be predictably generated, you get a situation like this.

a tough reminder, but a great lesson on why mastering self custody and opsec is just as important as picking the right trades

centralized have been hacked before too. Super move to first scare all the non affected hard wallet money into centralized to then do it again on the centralized ones like in the past
