the coldcard-related hack has already surpassed $100 million in confirmed losses.
According to the cited update, 1,596 BTC has been stolen from about 7,300 addresses across three major attack waves and several smaller incidents. Galaxy Research says there could even be a fourth wave, which would raise the total to 2,055 BTC (about $130 million), though this is not yet fully confirmed.
Most importantly, the attack appears to still be ongoing. In addition, close to 90% of the stolen BTC remains unmoved, and the involved addresses have already been shared with U.S. authorities, exchanges, and research firms.
The main takeaway of the post is: the incident is bigger than initially thought, it could still get worse, and coldcard users who have doubts should move their funds to a safe address as soon as possible.$PEPE $BTC
