The Coldcard hardware wallet hack has resulted in over $100 million worth of Bitcoin being stolen, amounting to approximately 1,600 to 1,800 Bitcoin. The attackers are reportedly mining five years' worth of compromised private keys.
“Total numbers right now, it's like it's over $100 million stolen? It's like 1600, 1800 Bitcoin.”
“Thousands and thousands of addresses, probably thousands of victims. Uniquely like these are all super hardcore Bitcoiners, who believe in self-custody and cold storage and hardware wallets and safety and that makes it painful.”
“It's basically, like, six days ago, seven days ago now. Um, it's been a free for all since. Because there's basically five years of seeds and private keys that that the various attackers are basically mining.”
