AI visual note: The image, sourced from Galaxy Research, displays a stacked area chart titled "Coldcard Seed-Entropy Thefts: Dollars Stolen, Valued At The Time Of Theft," tracking cumulative BTC theft from July 30 to August 13, reaching approximately $128M across multiple incidents labeled Wave 1 ($70.2M), Wave 2 ($4.6M), and various Footprints totaling around $20.5M. This visualization supports the accompanying post by quantifying the severity of the Coldcard vulnerability that failed to be remedied by a patch, emphasizing why users with seeds generated on the compromised firmware must urgently migrate their funds to a new wallet to prevent further irreversible losses.
