LATEST: Coldcard user lost C$1.6 MILLION in BTC despite doing “everything right.”
Jonathan Goodman says he is filing a police report, but does not expect to recover anything.
After hearing about the hack on July 29, he checked his wallet and found that all 18.25 $BTC had been drained.
He said the device had never touched the internet and had been stored inside a safety deposit box.
“I did everything right. None of it mattered.”
Coldcard confirmed a flaw caused some wallets to create seed phrases that were easier for hackers to guess.
Total Bitcoin stolen may now exceed $109.6M.
