If this is what trying to make a Lightning payment from @CashApp from GrapheneOS is going to be like from now on, then I am done with CashApp. Period.

Due to recent unforeseen events, it is with a heavy heart that I have decided to formally seek nvk's forgiveness for buying a foundationless device. This is what happens when you stray away (pics below). I have sent, by carrier pigeon, a short and sweet but sincere letter requesting some leniency. I expect to hear back within a week if the weather is fair 🙏

At 18:31 UTC on September 24, 2026, Bitget’s security systems identified unauthorized transfers involving a limited number of hot wallets.
Our security team immediately activated emergency response procedures and began a full investigation.
Based on our current assessment, approximately $351.6 million in assets were affected. Bitget’s cold wallets and the overwhelming majority of platform assets remain secure and unaffected.
Most importantly, user funds remain protected.
The incident falls within the coverage of Bitget’s User Protection Fund, which currently holds more than $464 million.
Customer account balances remain accurate, and deposits and trading continue to operate normally.
As a precaution, withdrawals have been temporarily suspended while our teams complete a comprehensive security review.
We have identified and flagged the relevant transfer addresses and have formally engaged law enforcement agencies and leading on-chain security partners.
We are working around the clock to restore withdrawal services as soon as it is safe to do so.
Bitget will provide further updates through our official channels.
We will not speculate on the attack vector while the investigation remains ongoing. Our focus is on protecting users, securing all systems, and delivering complete transparency throughout this process.

I think it can be actually reasonable, verbating. It's literally true that a coldcard device is safer now that it ever was (you could argue it was safer 5 years ago, but it was not as heavily reviewed as now). I'm even keeping Qs with card-generated seed in some multisig setups, after I had emotionally decided in August to rotate them away. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody found a very good commercial deal to buy a new one. As always, in multivendor multisig. As always, self-generated entropy.

On September 10, attackers breached Brevo, our newsletter provider, and sent phishing mails from our account.
Sadly, email addresses were exposed. Devices and order info were not.
We warned subscribers immediately and the phishing links went down within minutes.

No better crew than @rodarmor and @realizingerin to sit down with for my first live in person podcast since the Red Team efforts kicked off!
@hellmoneypod continues its reign as the bitcoin podcast which has its finger on the pulse of both technology and cultural vibes.
AI IS BREAKING BITCOIN
Rob Hamilton spent the last six weeks on the front line of the AI War, this is his story.
Casey @Rodarmor and Erin Redwing @realizingerin sit down with @Rob1Ham (CEO of @AnchorWatch and Bitcoin) to talk about AI tearing through the Bitcoin ecosystem - from the COLDCARD bug and Red Team to Chinese vs. American models and what comes next for software security.
Rob’s conclusion: Bitcoin is getting hit first, but AI is coming for everyone.

Uncomfortable truth.
I am in the market for a hardware wallet and I have decided on a new Coldcard. I think that after everything that’s happened, these devices are even safer and more secure than ever.

That is really cool! If @COLDCARDwallet makes it popular and easy for people to build on CC devices, that would be an awesome comeback... keep shipping!
Spoiler alert: If you guys make it, then you guys are going to sell a lot of hardware wallets, way more than before!

We might be interested to build our own firmware, if funding were to follow.
