Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

At least 15 attackers exploited a vulnerability in Coldcard hardware wallets, with losses estimated at around $100 million, Gadgets 360 reports. Alex Thorn, chief researcher at Galaxy Digital, linked the incidents to successive waves of coordinated thefts involving the same flaw. The estimate may change as investigators gather more information. Reports from victims helped investigators connect separate incidents and identify attackers who might otherwise have remained anonymous. Gadgets 360 also mentions artificial intelligence as a growing factor in cyberattacks, but gives no technical details linking it to these thefts. The available account does not establish the full scale or coordination of the attacks.
