MAGS argues Coldcard is not the only recent wallet drain caused by an entropy failure at seed generation, saying CryptoJS also had a long undetected bug that made the system fall back to weak or predictable number generation and that it too sat unnoticed for years, and adds that he is glad the Red Team is seeking bugs. The same parallel is drawn a few hours earlier, without naming a library, by Juliano Rizzo at julianor-2085162138956374408. The poster states elsewhere in this record that he is himself a victim of the Coldcard incident. The CryptoJS characterisation and the drains attributed to it are the poster's own and are not verified here.
This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication. Last checked .
This post is held twice: here, with this project's own note on why it matters, and again as part of the conversation captured at , which is polled for changes. Both copies are the same post; neither is a separate event.
Snapshot and diff bodies for this chain monitor are held in the local evidence archive but withheld from the public site because they can contain the addresses of people who published nothing themselves. Capture times and reviewed change summaries remain available below.
