Canadian hardware wallet maker Coinkite has warned users of its COLDCARD Mk3 devices to transfer their Bitcoin to new wallets after identifying a flaw in how seed phrases were generated, according to reporting by BitKE and BleepingComputer.
The defect involves a random number generator that may have produced predictable seed phrases, which attackers could exploit to gain control of the funds.
