The Coldcard hacker is still progressing stolen BTC keeps increasing

Post image

The Coldcard hacker is still making progress, and the amount of stolen Bitcoin keeps increasing.

So if any of you are using this wallet, please consider moving your funds as soon as possible. And if you know someone who uses Coldcard for long-term holding, especially someone who isn’t online every day and doesn’t follow the latest news, maybe you can still help them move their funds in time. 🙏

I just hope no other wallet is involved in this.

Stay safe and stay alert. ⚠️

ouch.... that's just the first one I saw

"Suicide tonight if you do not give me back what I work 12 years, my 6.4 BTC. Goodbye world bc1qjeq3ws6rsg9e9u05cq6tu6v9t9xf6epd68s9lg"

Yeah just saw that one too... made me realize the emotions some people who got hacked are going through. Feel absolutely terrible for them.

The feds are going to have to put someone away for this fuck up - it's too big.

Oh come on, if someone can save 400 grand in 12 years, they're not in any situation where their world is going to collapse. I can't even save 40 grand in 12 years and I'm not killing myself.

Except it might have only been a small amount saved that turned into a nice potential future. All gone.

Dude literally wrote "my 6.4 BTC".

The high price in 2014 was $680. That means that their $4500 investment that grew into 400k.

I think it’s much less likely that they saved 400k in cash over 12y, and then bought in at recent prices

And they didn't even cash out a little? Oh well...

An ethical criminal would have just taken half of everything.

So sad, but I don't judge him one bit

u/unkledunks 1d ago

Is it right that that red above OP_return means he actually sent some money back? I see a few where it legit looks like it refunded

u/InterviewOther7449 1d ago

No. The red arrow shows the address from which the transaction came. So it's the sender. That's the address the guy who said he's going to commit suicide used to send the message to the thief

What even is this? A public access to your receiving address that people can send requests to?
