My Cold Keys Just Got Swiped! All Cold Kuntz!!

[Cryptogreatdane]

This is a disaster. A sad day for us and physical. Checking my cold key. Can we see the timeframe on these swipes. Did they all happen in a 30 min period or are they continuous swipes signifying that more cards may be swiped they just havent gotton to them yet. I think we should keep a running log of cards swept as well as times and the addresses they went too. Good bookeeping and oragnization will help facilitate a lawsuit in the future if it ever comes to that.

My #45 set has been swiped as well. Relevant addresses:

- bc1qhalvedx6dcs482uwpsclethd0nk03vp3sgrlvx

Some days ago Coldkeys website/shop was down. Now it's online => if an attacker somehow got root-access I can only advise you against interacting with the website and e-mail in any way!

I'm not familiar with Coldkeys key management (what, where and how they store information) and why they have to store any information at all but the attacker is redeeming the addresses systematically in ever growing batches of private keys (gets more and more confident) and facilitates amounts between $500-1.000 to new addresses.

Not looking good, not looking good at all.

Edit.

I went through all comments, and I really can't believe this is happening.  
I really hope you will find out and expose who and why this has been happening.
I have my own speculation, but I think it's too soon to share.

I hope we will get a clear picture of the situation soon.

Be strong, guys!

i'm on the matter and whether yogg or me will then provide you updates ... that is Coldkey you owe in any case

I checked all my coldkeys now - only the silver halvings got swiped so far, but will check now on regular basis.

same here...

Silver #55 swept.

Gold #2 still in tact... for now.

[tweetious]

Just checked my Silver halving coldkey set #28 and has been swept  

Haven't checked any other Colkey cards (at least not yet)

It can only be Yogg

Some random thoughts on the matter:

- why sweep some, not all at once - very strange, could be a hint for an attack.

I can think of three scenarios right now:
1. It is Yogg, most obvious and most likely, given the circumstances / red flags*
2. It is someone that either
   a) had access to the keys in some way when the keys were created (but why wait sooo long to sweep most now?!)
   b) gained access recently, which would be almost as bad as 1) as imho there is NO REASON for any maker to store priv keys or seed phrases once products have been distributed.
   -> this could mean an attack is happening right now, since the website just went online apparently, very strange
3. Someone who was able to scan priv keys prior to shipping (reading off the already made cards)

3 seems super unlikely, so just forget that one.


*Given all the red flag:
- lack of communication going on for years
- website down
- yogg stepping down as "CEO" in favour of cygan recently

What a clusterfuck... Please say it ain't so that yogg is behind this

My silvers have also been swept. Will check other cards as well now too. Very sad.

Here are photos from today showing the holograms are intact for mine:

I just peeled my copper Halving set #99. It had the funds and I swept them. But I have a few other history cards too. Im thinking I need to sweep them all now.

[QuakerBull]

With all the sadness but I think whoever has CKs should peel them right away, at least try to save what you can.

This is not going anywhere as seems.

[123Dave]

How do i check?

[QuakerBull]

How do i check?

public key is printed on all of them - then need to firstbit it.

[Kryptowerk]

There doesn't seem to be any public address list available. *BTW that's another red flag I didn't want to see.
You should see the pub keys on your card and check via an explorer. :\

Use https://www.walletexplorer.com/
for firstbits.


*Or QR code, but sometimes older cameras have trouble reading the tiny code.

[aoluain]

Ah so sorry to learn of this guy's, this is shocking.

Erm, I think it's time to redeem what you have left, I recon they will all be swept, it doesn't
make sense to only sweep some if the person behind this has access to them all!

What a clusterfuck... Please say it ain't so that yogg is behind this

That will be the second shocking thing about this. Yogg 'has' such a massive reputation.

Dave,

There's also QR codes on the back with the public address to check funds.

[Suzuki Matt]

They have a QR code on them bro. You can scan it with the ballet app for the easiest way to check.

[henkcryptotank]

Dont own any, but this shit sucks....

[PreciousMetapsICT]

How do i check?

Put the address in walletexplorer.com

[DirtyBirdE]

Only own 1 coldkey bascard loaded with .001 not sure if I should sweep or let it sink
