🚨 ColdCard Hack & The Future of Self-Custody

​You bought a hardware wallet to keep your crypto safe from hackers. But what if the hack came from inside the house?

​On July 30th, the crypto community was shaken by a critical vulnerability in Coinkite’s ColdCard wallets. The issue wasn’t phishing or malware—it was a flaw in the device's Random Number Generator (RNG) and entropy collection during wallet generation. Because the seed phrases weren’t truly random, bad actors could mathematically predict them and drain wallets silently.

​Panic doesn’t secure your sats. Education does.

​Join Bitcoin Bay Research as we pop the hood on the exploit, separate fact from FUD, and figure out what this means for the future of Bitcoin self-custody.
