Very sad Bitcoin Cold Card, a very known hardware wallet, vulnerability going on currently. Bitcoins being drained from victims in waves that have seeds from the affected firmware. The entropy (true randomness space) to generate the Bitcoin wallet seed was too predictable resulting in attackers gaining access to affected user wallets. Good reminder that self custody has pillars it stands on and how your seed is generated is something many people don't consider. It does not matter how safe you keep your seed, which most people focus on mostly, when your seed entropy is weak.
