Coldcard investigates phishing link posted on its official X account
Coldcard, a manufacturer of Bitcoin hardware wallets, said it is investigating the circumstances surrounding the posting of a phishing link through its official X account.
The company said the post has been removed and that it is reviewing the account’s access permissions in coordination with the platform, despite having stringent security measures in place, including two-factor authentication.
It urged users not to visit or interact with the suspicious link and to rely exclusively on official channels for updates.
Why does this incident matter?
The incident highlights a digital security risk: exploiting users’ trust in official accounts to share malicious links.
The appearance of a phishing link on a company’s account does not necessarily mean its devices or users’ wallets have been compromised; it is important to distinguish between the security of social media accounts and that of technology products.
