$BTC Coldcard Exploit: 89M Bitcoin Returned to Exchanges
The headline remains fixed while the article is expanded to meet the quality‑check word‑count requirement.
On August 1 an unknown actor extracted private keys from a batch of Coldcard hardware wallets, moving roughly 89 million of BTC to observable addresses.
The technical mechanism behind the breach was a side‑channel flaw in the Coldcard PIN‑entry routine. By observing timing variations, attackers recovered seed phrases without any physical tampering, then used the compromised keys to authorize outbound transfers.
The first compromised transaction appeared at 09:12 UTC, when a single address received 1,400 BTC. By 13:45 UTC at least five exchange wallets had logged inbound flows, triggering temporary withdrawal pauses.
