Alex Thorn of Galaxy Research reports the attack is ongoing, says wave 1, 2 and 3 coins remain inert while smaller opportunistic operators are moving funds, gives average and median coin dormancy of 3.18 and 3.55 years, and states that every single-sig Coldcard address generated after the March 2021 firmware upgrade will eventually be drained. He also says US LLM models are hindering response efforts and that victim reports via DM have helped identify attacker addresses. Held as a reported incident-response update from the primary tracking team.
