jrakibi warning that a repository which gained many stars in 24 hours, and claims to reproduce the vulnerable COLDCARD RNG, pulls a dependency that downloads and runs an infostealer searching for seeds, private keys and passwords. A specific and actionable secondary-attack report: the bait is reproduction of this defect, so the target is exactly the people investigating it. The repository is not named or linked here. The malicious behaviour is the reporter's LLM-assisted finding and is not verified by this archive.

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