Galaxy Research Head: Coldcard Incident Shakes Bitcoin Community, Signaling a Turning Point in Security Philosophy

Odaily News, Galaxy Research Head Alex Thorn stated on the X platform that attacks exploiting the Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability have noticeably declined, but cumulative losses continue to rise as more victims come forward. The impact of this incident on the Bitcoin community is significant, as the victims are primarily long-term BTC holders who adhered to self-custody cold storage principles, rather than those who lost assets due to high-risk trading or DeFi activities.At a scale of $112 million, this incident ranks among the top 20 largest hacks in crypto history and is one of the most severe security breaches in the hardware wallet self-custody sector to date. Bitcoin culture may be entering a new phase—the era of relying solely on ideological advocacy and extreme self-custody promotion is coming to an end. The community needs to place greater emphasis on technical security, lower the barrier to entry for users, and avoid simply shifting the burden of security responsibility onto ordinary users. This crisis may ultimately drive the Bitcoin ecosystem to establish a more mature security framework.Galaxy Research has directly contacted 190 victims and has confirmed with high confidence that the exploit has led to the theft of 1,778.84 BTC (approximately $112.7 million) from over 8,600 addresses. This tally does not yet include certain moderately credible suspicious attack records, such as the unconfirmed "Wave 4." If these potential attack scopes are incorporated, total losses could expand to 2,417.35 BTC (approximately $153 million).Meanwhile, the incident is reshaping market perceptions of self-custody security. Galaxy noted that multisig wallets have emerged as the "winners" of this event, with no stolen transactions traced to multisig wallets so far. Multisig service providers including Casa, Unchained, Nunchuk, and Anchorwatch have all observed a notable increase in user registrations and BTC inflows.

The maximum 1,159 BTC stolen assets remain frozen, and the COLDCARD attacker has begun cleaning smaller-scale funds

Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Galaxy Research stated that the largest known COLDCARD theft incident involves 1,159 BTC, distributed across seven attacker addresses, which remain untouched to date, with 0 BTC cashed out or transferred through mixers. The relevant BTC was stolen within 41 minutes, but approximately 600 attacker addresses have been flagged by law enforcement agencies, exchanges, and blockchain analysis firms. Meanwhile, a smaller-scale attacker appears to have begun cleaning funds. On-chain analysts have tracked 64 BTC entering mixers, of which only about 10 BTC initially completed mixing, 54 BTC returned as change, and were subsequently split into outputs of approximately 7 BTC each for further mixing. Analysts noted that these unusually large outputs remain easy to trace, making this cleaning attempt relatively transparent.

COLDCARD hacker identified by researchers through on-chain patterns such as fixed fee rates

Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Alex Thorn of Galaxy Research stated that researchers initially identified the first wave of COLDCARD thefts through a distinctive on-chain pattern: thousands of automated asset transfer transactions used the same fixed fee rate and exhibited identical transaction behavior. This characteristic enabled analysts to trace attacker activity across Bitcoin UTXO history and map out multiple rounds of coordinated theft.

Coldcard vulnerability investigation escalates: At least 15 attackers identified, a single victim's findings reveal 12 BTC stolen

Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn stated that based on new victim reports received following the incident, the number of attackers exploiting the Coldcard vulnerability has reached at least 15.Thorn noted that information provided by victims helped the research team uncover previously unidentified attack activity. Unlike thefts from centralized exchanges, correlations between the attackers in this vulnerability exploit require confirmation through on-chain analysis and victim feedback.He added that a single victim reporting less than 1 BTC stolen helped the team discover a previously unknown attack, which siphoned approximately 12 BTC from 126 addresses.According to Galaxy Research's earlier estimates, the Coldcard vulnerability has led to at least three rounds of attacks, with losses amounting to approximately $100 million in BTC. Additionally, Galaxy has identified a suspected fourth round of attacks, which could bring total losses to approximately $130 million.Meanwhile, the incident has also sparked discussions regarding the security of Bitcoin self-custody. Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that "AI security hardening costing around $2" could potentially have prevented this vulnerability, and noted that some AI models were able to rediscover related vulnerabilities within a relatively short timeframe. However, industry insiders pointed out that current claims about the speed of AI discovering vulnerabilities lack rigorous blind testing and verification.Researchers believe that as AI model capabilities improve, the costs of vulnerability discovery and attacks in the crypto industry may continue to decline, requiring wallet developers to further strengthen code audits and security protections.

Galaxy 研究主管:出现更多小型攻击者和模仿者针对 Coldcard 剩余助记词展开攻击

Galaxy 研究主管 Alex Thorn 发文表示,围绕 Coldcard 钱包的攻击事件仍在持续发展,目前已经出现更多小型攻击者和模仿者,针对剩余 Coldcard 助记词展开攻击,他称通过协助已确认一名攻击事件中存款用户的身份,相关资金在 Duel 平台能够冻结之前已经被转出,而且涉及的资金并不属于 Galaxy Research 此前识别出的三轮主要攻击浪潮。 此前,Coldcard 疑似安全事件引发市场关注,多名研究人员发现部分由 Coldcard 生成的钱包地址出现异常资金转移。Galaxy Research 仍在持续追踪攻击地址,并提醒仍使用相关钱包种子的用户尽快采取安全措施。此次事件也进一步凸显了硬件钱包安全、私钥管理以及自托管风险防范的重要性。

Galaxy Research: Approximately 600 Suspected Coldcard Attacker Addresses Submitted

Galaxy Research stated in a post on X that the attack targeting wallet addresses generated with weak randomness by Coldcard is still ongoing. The team urges users to immediately migrate funds from affected Coldcard single-signature wallets to secure addresses.They stated that approximately 600 suspected attacker addresses have been submitted to federal investigators, industry compliance bodies, and cross-industry cybersecurity investigators. These addresses are believed to hold funds stolen from Coldcard wallets with weak randomness.The team also noted that victims have proactively shared wallet addresses and transaction hashes, helping researchers establish on-chain attack patterns and further identify more affected wallets and attack addresses. Currently, multiple parties within the Bitcoin and crypto industry are assisting in user asset protection and attack tracing efforts.Galaxy Research previously stated in a post on X that a third wave of attacks suspected to target Coldcard-generated addresses has emerged, with 207.7294 BTC already transferred out. According to on-chain tracking data, the Coldcard wallet attack incident has so far involved approximately 1,367.05 BTC, valued at approximately $88.6 million, affecting 4,585 addresses.

Galaxy Research: ColdCard Wallet Hacker Attack Scale Continues to Expand, Three Waves of Attacks Stole a Total of Approximately $88.6 Million Worth of BTC

According to monitoring by on-chain analysis firm Galaxy Research (@glxyresearch), the ColdCard wallet hacking incident has developed into a third wave, with an additional 207.73 BTC stolen. Currently, the three waves of attacks have cumulatively stolen 1,367.05 BTC (approximately $88.6 million), involving 4,585 addresses. On-chain data shows that the three waves of attacks exhibit highly similar characteristics: identical fund consolidation topology, identical P2WPKH target addresses, and mixed derivation paths. Each wave occurred approximately 27 hours apart, suggesting they were carried out by the same attacker, but there is currently no direct evidence to confirm this. Currently, all terminal addresses controlled by the hackers hold a total of 1,366.39 BTC (approximately $88.6 million), all of which are in an unspent state on-chain. Galaxy Research noted that the above data is based solely on Bitcoin block data and UTXO set analysis, and has not yet computationally verified whether the victim addresses have vulnerabilities due to low-entropy generation.
