The Coldcard hardware wallet suffered a firmware exploit that allowed attackers to steal over $100 million in bitcoin, prompting a surge in user migration towards more secure multisignature vaults and self-custody solutions. Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten highlights the rapid industry response helping users protect their assets beyond Swan's client base.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The Coldcard hack redefines secure storage for bitcoin holders, forcing a shift to multisignature vaults that block single points of failure. You must urgently re-evaluate your custody approach or risk losing key assets amid rising threats.
