Summary
A flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets has led to over 1,367 BTC (~$89 million) being drained from thousands of wallets, as hackers exploit weaknesses in the seed phrase generation process. The issue stems from a 2021 firmware version that compromised security by not using a proper hardware randomness generator. Users are urged to transfer their assets to secure wallets to prevent further losses.
