Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

The attacker behind the third wave of Coldcard hardware wallet thefts has moved $7.7 million in Bitcoin, representing 45% of the BTC taken during that phase, according to Galaxy Research. On-chain tracking confirms the attacker has fully drained all 11 of the largest vaults tied to the third wave, indicating a systematic approach to liquidating stolen holdings. The incident extends a serial campaign against Coldcard users across at least three documented attack waves, with each cycle followed by methodical fund movement that has so far evaded interdiction.
