Journalist Laura Shin summarising her outlet's article, linked in the post as a card from unchainedcrypto.com and headlined that COLDCARD's dice-roll safeguard can backfire on holders who roll too few times. The claim she relays, attributed to security researcher Taylor Monahan, is that the dice-rolling fix being recommended to COLDCARD owners is the same thing that drained the earliest victims, and that the device warns the user but never stops them. Held because it runs directly against dice-based mitigation guidance held elsewhere in this record, including the fifty-roll exception at darosior-emergency-guidance, the dice caveat at llfourn-2083298061250666721 and the advice at praveenperera-reproduction-cost, so the archive now holds both positions. The linked outlet should not be confused with the custody firm Unchained, whose separate client guidance is held at unchained-guidance. The claim is Monahan's as reported by Shin and is not verified here.
