Coldcard Warns Users to Move Bitcoin Amid Active Exploit
Coldcard is urging users to transfer their bitcoin immediately as an ongoing security exploit puts holdings at risk.
Coldcard, one of the most trusted names in Bitcoin hardware wallets, has issued an urgent warning telling users to move their bitcoin now. The exploit isn't theoretical — it's actively in progress, which makes this a fire drill you can't afford to ignore.
Hardware wallets like Coldcard are widely considered the gold standard for cold storage security, so an active exploit targeting the device is a serious wake-up call for the self-custody crowd. If you've been sitting on sats without checking your setup, today is the day that changes.

Details on the exact nature of the vulnerability are limited, but Coldcard's public guidance is clear: don't wait for a patch, don't wait for more information — move your funds to a secure address immediately. In situations like this, speed matters more than perfect information.
For traders and HODLers alike, this is a reminder that self-custody comes with responsibility. Even the most reputable hardware can be compromised, and your contingency plan should already be in place before something like this hits. If you don't have a secondary wallet ready to receive funds, set one up now.
The broader crypto community will be watching closely to see how Coldcard responds and what the full scope of the exploit turns out to be. Continue reading at CoinDesk.
