The real attack was social. Coinkite sold us the idea of being "badass bitcoiners" who "use the tools", and people bought into it. Pride before the fall for everyone involved. #Bitcoin Core? That's for old people! We are young and cool. We got too cute as a space. This is the cost.

Coldcard had a silent fallback to false/pseudo entropy IN THE MOST CRITICAL PATH of their firmware.

This was not a "sophisticated AI attack", but (best case) morons larping as edward snowden and succesfully fooling the entire #Bitcoin space.

The real attack was social.
