June 2023: users of Atomic Wallet, a software wallet, found their funds gone. At least $35 million, per Elliptic. Their keys lived in an app on an internet-connected device. Keys created on a KeepKey stay on the KeepKey, and nothing moves until you press its button.

Only set up a hardware wallet you ordered yourself, shipped by the manufacturer. A "replacement" you didn't order is a scam. A genuine device never asks you to type recovery words into a computer. Your KeepKey shows its words on its own screen, once, in front of you.

A passphrase is never stored on your KeepKey. That's the point: someone holding the device still can't open the hidden wallet. It's also the cost. Lose the exact passphrase and your recovery words alone won't bring those funds back. Who needs one, and how to test it first.

Swap without opening an exchange account. KeepKey Desktop asks six providers for quotes (THORChain, Mayachain, Relay, 0x, ChainFlip, ShapeShift) and you sign from your own wallet. The quote shows the rate, fees, route and time. Read it, then confirm the amount on your KeepKey.

Attackers generate lookalike addresses matching the first and last characters of a real one. Checking only the ends is the mistake they count on. Before sharing a receive address, click Verify on Device. Your KeepKey computes the address itself and shows it on its own screen.

A technical breakdown of exactly what happened with coldcard.
Been getting a lot of questions about the coldcard seed bug, so — short version. It wasn't a hack. Nobody broke a PIN, opened a device, or installed malicious firmware. A build flag meant affected devices picked their secret from a far smaller set than they should have. Those coins were guessable from the day the wallet was made. Some of them, five years ago. Here's my breakdown of what to know.
