The Bitcoin Adviser's end-of-week update states that the threat remains active, that multiple attackers are still targeting affected seeds, and that observed losses now sit well above $100 million; it repeats that a firmware update does not repair a seed generated under the affected versions and that a new seed and careful migration are needed, while warning against rushing into an unfamiliar setup. The second half is a commercial offer: the first three months of the company's collaborative custody service free for anyone signing up through August, with no commitment or early-termination fee, and a contact link. Interest: the company sells the collaborative custody service the post recommends, in the same post that supplies the loss figure and threat assessment. Those figures and that assessment are the company's own and are not verified here.
