$89M Coldcard Hack Exposes Flaw in Hardware Wallet Security

Share

A recent exploit on Coldcard hardware wallets has raised concerns about the security of cryptocurrency storage. According to reports, a single firmware bug drained $89 million from Coldcards without the attacker ever touching a device.

Crypto billionaire and roundtable.io member expressed skepticism about the reliability of hardware wallets. They stated that even 'safe' wallets can be cracked remotely, rendering cold storage insecure.

The issue has sparked debate among experts, with some arguing that diversifying wallets creates more points of failure and increases the risk of losing seeds. Others believe that this is a wake-up call to reevaluate the security measures in place for cryptocurrency storage.
