A firmware flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets, present since 2021, allowed attackers to steal over 1,778 Bitcoin (worth about $112 million) from more than 5,000 wallets in under an hour starting July 30, 2026. The bug involved using a software-based random number generator instead of a hardware one, making seed phrases predictable and vulnerable. Coinkite patched the issue quickly but warns users to generate new seed phrases on updated firmware and move funds immediately, as compromised seeds remain unsafe even after updates. This incident raises concerns about the security of self-custody hardware wallets and the industry's ability to quickly address critical vulnerabilities.
