In this emergency episode of Galaxy Grid, we break down the massive CoinKite Coldcard hardware wallet exploit that has compromised over 1,500 BTC ($100M+) across multiple attack waves. Alex Thorn delivers an exclusive play-by-play tracing the silent March 2021 RNG firmware bug, while Will Owens details how he successfully baited an automated drainer bot and won an RBF fee race to rescue his funds. Finally, we examine how open-source AI models were used to operationalize the attack and what this breach means for the future of Bitcoin self-custody versus institutional ETFs.
