Coldcard Investigates Phishing Post on X Account
Coldcard, the Bitcoin hardware wallet company, has launched an investigation into a phishing post that appeared on its official X account. The post, which claimed a critical issue with seed generation in recent Coldcard firmware, was flagged by the company and found to be fraudulent. Coldcard advises users not to visit or interact with the link and to avoid entering their seed phrase on a website, as legitimate firmware fixes do not require such action. The phishing message referenced a previously disclosed security issue and did not reveal any new vulnerabilities. The incident underscores the need for vigilance against phishing threats and highlights potential vulnerabilities in social media security. Coldcard is seeking clarification from X about how the post got onto its account and whether account credentials were compromised.
