🚨 MAJOR BREACH ALERT
~500 hardware wallet addresses just got completely drained for $40M in $BTC
562 $BTC consolidated into a single address after the attack
This is NOT a small-scale phishing op. Hardware wallets were supposed to be the "safe" option.
Questions nobody's answering yet:
• Which hardware wallet brand?
• Supply chain compromise or firmware exploit?
• Were seed phrases exposed or is this a signing vulnerability?
If you're holding on hardware, audit your setup NOW. Check for:
• Tampered packaging
• Unofficial firmware updates
• Compromised seed storage
The consolidation address is live and being tracked. Expect exchanges to flag it, but damage is done.
Cold storage isn't foolproof. Stay paranoid.
