⚠️ NEW IN: AFX Trade Suffers $24M Bridge Hack

AFX Trade has lost approximately $24.15 million in USDC after attackers compromised the bridge’s validator signing keys.

The hackers obtained enough validator signatures to approve a fraudulent withdrawal, then bridged the funds to Ethereum and swapped them for roughly 12,467 ETH.

Importantly, this was not a flaw in Arbitrum or the bridge’s smart contracts. The exploit stemmed from compromised off-chain validator keys used to authorize withdrawals.

⚠️ NEW IN: COLDCARD Issues Emergency Warning After Critical Seed Generation Flaw

Coinkite has disclosed a serious vulnerability affecting COLDCARD Mk3 hardware wallets that generated recovery seeds using firmware versions 4.0.1 through 4.1.9.

According to the company, a flaw in the device’s entropy generation significantly reduced the randomness used when creating seed phrases, making certain private keys potentially predictable through brute force.

The disclosure follows reports that attackers drained approximately 594 BTC (around $38 million) from roughly 500 wallets linked to the vulnerable devices.

Users who created their seed on an affected Mk3 are strongly advised to generate a brand-new wallet and transfer all funds immediately. Mk4, Mk5 and COLDCARD Q devices do not appear to be impacted.
