Coinkite's 6 Aug post telling owners to treat migration as urgent, follow the advisory for their model, upgrade, generate a new seed and move funds, and stating that the threat is still ongoing. A vendor statement of current risk a week into the incident, and one of the few captured sources in which Coinkite asks readers to spread the warning to people who are less online.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
