Informational only. This is an open source collection of what others have published about the incident, together with an explanation of it. It is not financial, security or legal advice, and not a substitute for professional advice about your own situation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Coinkite. Material is attributed and quoted as published; where sources disagree their scenarios are kept separate with their assumptions rather than reconciled into one answer. Everything is meant to be checked against the linked evidence rather than taken on trust. Act on your own judgement about a particular situation. Editorial standards and corrections.

title: A thought for the Future
body:
how about you let a local AI model (or multiple) check your code before you ship it. The Hackers are doing it too. Sure, an AI server is expensive, but I bet it beats the cost of a class action lawsuit.

Their code is open source. You can go do this yourself if you want.

Their code is open source, so there's not much they can really do about people analyzing it. If people want to use AI to constantly search for attack vectors, they will. Coldcard just needs to continuously audit its open source code and address any issues that are found. But besides that, Coldcard will likely go bankrupt over this. For a hardware wallet company, this is an endgame situation.

    Excerpt only. The complete copy is held offline and backs quotations on this site. The original publication remains the canonical public source.

How to check this yourself

The excerpts and plain unified diffs above show the text this project held and how it changed. To verify a quotation, compare it against the page itself or against the Internet Archive's copies, which are independent of this project.

Complete captures are held offline rather than mirrored here, so this page shows diffs and excerpts. If a quotation is ever disputed, the full copy can be produced. Ask.
