If you lost your life savings, or some portion thereof, know that this is not the end, even if it may feel like it.&#xA;&#xA;Second, move the funds you do have in any coldcard as quickly and calmly as possible to another place. Even a hot wallet is a fine temporary intermediary. But choose a respectable one.&#xA;&#xA;Long term, “Not your entropy, not your keys” will be a major takeaway of this event. Better to generate your own randomness via dice, cards, coins, or other irl methods than to rely on computer-generated randomness.&#xA;&#xA;If you are capable of it, multi-signature set-ups using different, ideally fully open source, hardware wallet manufacturers are preferable moving forward as far as self custody goes. And when given the choice for extra entropy such as a passphrase, take it.&#xA;&#xA;And in any case, it is better not to keep all your eggs in one basket. Those who were most affected had all their coins on a single device. Do not rely on any one device, any one manufacturer, any single point of failure.&#xA;&#xA;My heart goes out to all. God bless.</html></oembed>
