WARNING to COLD CARD USERS: ColdCard has been compromised.

🔥

A lot of btc has been swiped recently from peoples cold cards.

You can read all about it on X/twitter.

Here's what I would do right now if using the cold card:

Step 1: Transfer all BTC from coldcard onto an exchange (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, etc.) right now.

Note: I normally NEVER encourage you to keep your btc on an exchange, but for the next few days it's a safer option than keeping it on a cold card.

Step 2: Order a new type of hardware wallet, like a Blockstream Jade.

Step 3: While you wait for your new wallet to arrive, watch a few YT vids to learn how to use it.

Step 4: As soon as it arrives, use the dice roll method + add a BIP-39 passphrase to it.

Step 5: Transfer your BTC from the exchange to your new hardware wallet.

Step 6: Consider a multi sig approach for long term safety.

Best,
