Zach Herbert reports using GPT 5.6 with Cyber access to review seed generation in Keystone, BitBox02, Blockstream Jade, and Trezor, stating that no Coldcard-style low-entropy bugs were found, while noting that legacy Keystone's underlying HRNG library is closed and cannot be fully source-audited. Held as a dated technical-method statement and primary claim from the CEO of a competing hardware-wallet vendor during the incident response. The findings are the poster's own and are not independently verified here.
