This affects all Coldcard devices. The device didn&#39;t use sufficient entropy on its own, meaning someone could potentially recreate your seed.&#xA;&#xA;What are your options?&#xA;&#xA;1) Move your funds immediately. Transfer your bitcoin to another wallet. Sparrow, your own node, Aqua, or almost anywhere else. This is a temporary fix, but it gets your funds out of harm&#39;s way. Practice standard security hygiene with wherever you park them.&#xA;&#xA;2) Update and regenerate. Flash your Coldcard to the latest firmware, then generate a brand new wallet by manually rolling dice 100+ times and adding a strong passphrase. This significantly improves your security, but honestly, after a vulnerability like this, it&#39;s hard to fully trust the device again.&#xA;&#xA;3) Get a Bitkey from Block. No seed words, no passphrases. All complexity is hidden. It uses multi-sig for security instead, and the UX is genuinely great. I&#39;ve bought several for family members and recommend it highly. Different approach, but rock solid. Literally.&#xA;&#xA;4) Get a Trezor Safe 7. It&#39;s a Bitcoin only version from the company that literally invented hardware wallets. I haven&#39;t used one personally, but trusted friends and colleagues swear by them, no issues, feel secure.&#xA;&#xA;The bottom line: if you&#39;re using a Coldcard with a device generated seed and no passphrase, don&#39;t wait. Move your funds and upgrade your setup. Please.</html></oembed>
