Armory and AI vulnerabilities

[RoadStress]

Is Armory at risk of having the same issues as the recent COLDCARD ones? Or other types of issues that could be found by AI?

No, that was an isolated incidence as much as I can tell with certain coldcard products(MK3/MK4/Q/MK5) which were created without a passphrase or dicerolls, this not a wide spread wallet issue to cause panic.

You can take precautions by adding a passphrase with whatever wallet you use to serve as extra security. Before doing this read extensively on it and always store the phrase in a different location from where your seedphrase are stored.

There's no correlation between this recent issue and AI.

For clarification, it's Coldcard's firmware's entropy generation vulnerability that's exploited to reproduce its users' mnemonic seed.
Armory doesn't utilize Coldcard's code whatsoever.

If ever it has any unnoticed bug, it'll be totally unrelated to the current issue with Coldcard.
Of course, we'll need a reliable code security audit for that.

Just know that only Coldcard was affected, a wallet that is close source but reproducible which should be a reason it should not be used at all but some people will not listen until they learn with what happened. Coldcard has never been a good wallet since it was close source.

Just use passphrase on all your wallets to make it safe from similar Coldcard attack.
