⚡️👀 WATCH - 2023 VIDEO SHOWS HOW COLDCARD'S DICE ROLL FEATURE ALLOWED FOR WEAK ENTROPY
Back in 2023, hardware wallet educator YTCryptoGuide warned that COLDCARD Mk4 allowed users to create a wallet with as little as one dice roll, making it easy for people to mistakenly generate extremely weak seeds.
He also warned the interface could lead users to believe their dice rolls were being mixed with the device’s hardware RNG when, in some workflows, they were not.
Ironically, many advanced users chose dice rolls because they didn’t fully trust the hardware RNG.
This video now carries new significance following the discovery of COLDCARD’s RNG vulnerability.

⚡️🔎 NEW - Coldcard thief received $1 on-chain laundering pitch.
The attacker’s largest consolidation address, holding 562 BTC, received a dust transaction containing an OP_RETURN message advertising laundering services for a 10% cut.
The sender spent 0.002347 BTC, sent just 1,590 sats to the attacker and returned the rest to a change address. The ad cost roughly $1.30.
The OP_Return message includes the Telegram handle of whoever sent the solicitation, which I will not publish.
There is also no proof the advertised account is authentic.
Most importantly, the stolen bitcoin still has not moved. This was someone approaching the attacker, not evidence the attacker is already laundering the funds.

⚡️‼️ NEW - Coldcard bug may have been caused by a compiler workaround.
A new technical analysis by Core-Lightning dev ddustin suggests the 2021 COLDCARD vulnerability may have started while a developer was trying to connect three layers of the firmware: the wallet’s Python code, MicroPython’s C code, and the STM32 hardware random number generator.
The custom code appears to have conflicted with MicroPython’s existing implementation, likely triggering a compiler error.
The evidence suggests the developer then disabled the hardware RNG by setting MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG to 0, allowing the firmware to compile.
That change had an unintended consequence. When users created new wallets, the firmware no longer used the hardware random number generator. Instead, it fell back to MicroPython’s much weaker Yasmarang software random number generator.
The commit message left by the dev was just the word “runs.”
The analysis argues this is a reminder that developers should never ship security-critical code they don’t fully understand, especially when it protects billions of dollars in Bitcoin.
That speaks volumes about the professionalism and reliability of the company behind it.

⚡️👻 ICYMI - A 22-year-old student teacher in Illinois sent a private Snapchat message to her boyfriend and two roommates.
A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.
An hour later, police walked into her school and arrested her.
here's what happened in between.
Snapchat's AI scanned the private message. flagged it as a potential threat. automatically reported it to the FBI. the FBI forwarded it to local law enforcement. deputies arrived at the school within the hour.
she cooperated immediately. handed over her phone. when shown the message she said: "oh yes. okay. yeah. i'm realizing that was a bad joke. i did not mean it at all serious at all."
police determined she was not a threat. school officials determined she was not a threat. prosecutors reviewed and issued a disorderly conduct charge. she was released the next morning. she lost her student teaching placement.
This means:
Snapchat scans private messages.
Not just public posts or stories. private group chats between you and your closest contacts. automated AI. no human reviewed it first, got flagged and reported.
Snapchat AI → FBI → local police → school → arrest.
in under an hour.
Snapchat's privacy policy says it may share your information with law enforcement when it believes there is a risk of harm. the definition of "risk of harm" is determined by an algorithm.
you are not told when a message is flagged.
you are not told when a report is filed.
you find out when the police arrive.
the message was private.
it wasn't.

⚡️🚨 FYI - DICE ROLLS DO NOT PROTECT EVERY COLDCARD FEATURE
Even if your seed phrase is safe because you generated it with dice rolls or imported an existing seed, several Coldcard features may still be vulnerable due to the Yasmarang PRNG flaw.
Affected features include:
• Paper wallets
• Device cloning
• USB sessions
• Secret Teleport
• Co-signing keys
• Password generator
• HSM mode
The seed itself remains secure if it was imported or generated with sufficient dice rolls, but using these features can still expose secrets generated by the flawed random number generator.

⚡️💬 TESTIMONIAL - $1.6 million dollars in Bitcoin was drained from my account on July 29th in the Cold Card wallet hack.
My Bitcoin was in cold storage. My keys were on a ColdCard device kept in a safety deposit box that had never been connected to the internet.
This part's nerdy, but here's what happened:
Hackers discovered a vulnerability in the part of the hardware wallet code used to create seed phrases.
This allowed them to use AI to brute force guessing seed phrases.
I was at our cottage and heard about the hack today.
"No way this affects me." I thought.
I logged into Wasabi––software that lets me view my bitcoin wallets online.
Right away I saw lines of red transaction–withdrawals–and I knew.
From 9:36pm - 9:43pm on July 29th, every wallet I had had been emptied.
18.25245043 btc gone. That's just over $1.6 million dollars CAD.
Perhaps the hardest part about this is that I did everything right.
I never shared my seed phrase with anybody. My devices never touched the internet. Everything was kept in multiple safes and safety deposit boxes.
None of it mattered. All because the hardware that created the seed phrase originally had one line in their code from 2021 that had a vulnerability.
I'm filing a police report and a report with the Ontario Securities Commission. But I don't expect to recoup anything.
A part of me is trying to make sense of what just happened. Or try to figure out a lesson in it. I'm struggling. $1.6 million is a staggering amount of money to have stolen.
I guess all that I can think about right now is that I'm so damn happy that I'm an entrepreneur and that my earning potential is under my control. Mark my damn words. I'll recover.

This BTC holder spent eight years stacking Bitcoin, hoping to build enough financial security before turning 50.
Living in a country affected by inflation and FATF sanctions, he trusted Bitcoin to protect his savings from a weakening currency.
But after his Coldcard wallet was compromised and his entire 2 $BTC was drained.
Years of hard work were wiped out in an instant.
He says he no longer knows if he still believes in Bitcoin and even wonders if he should have moved everything into a Bitcoin ETF instead.
"This Coldcard hack may cut deeper than any Bitcoin loss story I’ve seen since Mt. Gox..."

⚡️🚨 RESUME - Nearly 1,200 Coldcard cold wallets were emptied, and $70 million in Bitcoin was stolen in just 41 minutes.
Yet the culprit never gained access to the victims’ devices, recovery phrases, or computers. He simply managed to reconstruct their seeds......
On July 30, an individual stole 1,082.65 $BTC—approximately $70 million—from 1,196 Coldcard wallets.
The funds were transferred in several batches to four addresses.
An attack carried out entirely offline
The attacker did not need physical access to the devices, as the problem stemmed from the way certain seed phrases had been generated.
A flaw in certain versions of the Coldcard firmware resulted in seed phrases that were far too predictable.
The firmware was supposed to use a hardware random number generator. Due to a misconfiguration, some devices used a software generator based, in particular, on the chip’s serial number and data related to its internal clock.
This information appeared random, but could in fact be reproduced or limited to a much smaller number of possibilities.
The attacker could generate millions of candidate seeds on their own machines and then calculate the associated Bitcoin addresses.
When a match was found, they obtained the same private key as the owner and could sign a valid transaction.
The compromised wallets used several Bitcoin address formats, primarily native SegWit.
Several generations of Coldcard devices may be affected, including the Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, and Q, depending on the firmware used when the seed was generated.
The attacker reportedly left a trail by using a paid account with a blockchain data provider to verify addresses during the attack.
The recorded queries reportedly matched exactly the number, order, and timing of the drained wallets. This information has reportedly been shared with the authorities.
Coldcard confirms the vulnerability and recommends immediately transferring funds to another wallet.

They're promoting Morocco’s core security interests and punishing Spain at the expense of its own core security interests, because Spain is an adversary of Israel and Morocco is a security ally of Israel.
As part of the deal for Morocco to recognize Israel, the U.S. and Israel recognized Morocco’s claim over Western Sahara, another disputed territory in North Africa.
The U.S. and Israel effectively gave Morocco disputed Spanish territory in 2020.
This was Morocco’s reward for recognizing Israel."

Foundation Devices CEO Zach Herbert says the Coldcard entropy bug appears to have been introduced during a sweeping March 2021 firmware rewrite that replaced the wallet’s remaining GPL code with new cryptographic libraries.
Herbert outlines a timeline showing Foundation announced Passport in July 2020 using Coldcard’s then-GPL firmware, after which Coinkite moved to a source-available license and launched a major code overhaul.
He stresses the rewrite also pursued technical improvements, including adopting Bitcoin Core’s libsecp256k1, faster cryptographic implementations, and reproducible builds.
Herbert says there is no evidence licensing alone caused the bug, but notes the vulnerability was introduced in the same 120-file commit that removed the remaining GPL code dependencies.

⚡️🚨 ICYMI - MYSTERY BITCOIN SWEEP HITS 500 SINGLE-SIG ADDRESSES
Roughly 594 BTC, worth about $38 million, was swept from 500 addresses within 25 minutes Thursday, with the funds later consolidated into another wallet.
All affected holdings reportedly used single-signature addresses and contained a narrow range of roughly 0.15 to 0.26 BTC. Many UTXOs had remained dormant for years.
Early speculation centered on Coldcard because at least one victim used the device. Coldcard CEO NVK rejected claims of a device-wide breach, saying the user may have imported a previously compromised or weak seed and noting the sweep involves keys from different wallets.
Jameson Lopp said another victim lost only selected UTXOs, not the wallet’s entire balance. That could indicate exposure of individual private keys rather than complete seed compromise.
The coordinated sweep appears real, but its source remains unknown. There is currently no evidence establishing a Coldcard RNG flaw, supply-chain breach or Bitcoin cryptographic failure.

More than 100 soldiers and commanders from the Givati Brigade’s Tzabar Battalion laid down their weapons and left the Sde Teiman military base without authorization following a confrontation with their battalion commander, Israeli media reported.
Sde Teiman is the notorious military detention and torture site where Israel has held Palestinians seized en masse from Gaza, including men and boys rounded up during military raids, without charge or access to lawyers. Former detainees, whistleblowers and rights groups have documented severe beatings, systematic rape and sexual abuse, and other forms of torture there.
The soldiers reportedly abandoned their weapons and equipment before heading home. The Israeli military said disciplinary action would follow.
The dispute began, the Times of Israel reported, after the commander ordered battalion signs removed and smashed some with a hammer, saying they contained material humiliating new recruits.
There is no indication that the Israeli soldiers abandoned their post over the treatment of Palestinians.
