Three weeks of review turned up problems unrelated to the flaw that cost users $114 million, but updating still does not make a compromised wallet safe.
- Coinkite has released new firmware for its Coldcard hardware wallets after a randomness flaw enabled attackers to steal more than $114 million in bitcoin, but compromised wallets still require new seeds and fund migration.
- The company used AI tools, including frontier models, to audit its entire system, leading to fixes in transaction approval, USB data handling and firmware validation, and it now requires users to generate seeds with physical randomness such as dice rolls or coin flips.
- The Coldcard update comes amid a broader shift toward AI-assisted security across the bitcoin ecosystem, with projects like BTCPay Server, major exchanges and the volunteer Bitcoin Red Team reporting that AI-driven reviews are uncovering critical bugs at far higher rates than manual audits.
