NEW: Several hackers have been stealing $130 million — and counting — in Bitcoin from the owners of supposedly secure offline hardware wallets.
The heists rely on a security flaw in the Coldcard wallet. By knowing how to make the keys, the hackers did not need to break into the safe that holds them. The cybercriminals essentially figured out how to cut keys at scale.
“Perhaps the hardest part about this is that I did everything right,” Jonathan Goodman, who claimed to have had $1.6 million stolen from their Coldcard wallet, wrote on social media. “I never shared my seed phrase with anybody. My devices never touched the internet. Everything was kept in multiple safes and safety deposit boxes,” he said.
