I know their were some anecdotal reports of users losing their ColdCard funds years ago before all of this came to light.
It makes you wonder, with such a low search space with ColdCard's seed generation, those people that lost funds very likely weren't as a result of an attacker stealing their funds, but very well could've just as easily been a result of a casual end user creating a brand new wallet for themselves with a ColdCard only to find themselves with a new fortune sitting in front of them rather than a new empty wallet. 🤦♂️
