TREE NEWS update: Coldcard said it is investigating how a phishing link appeared on its X account, and advised users not to visit or interact with the link. The Bitcoin hardware wallet maker said it will share any further verified updates.
Coldcard probes phishing link posted from its X account
For a hardware wallet maker, the social account is effectively part of the trust surface, so a malicious link posted from it matters more than a generic brand hack. The audience most exposed is Coldcard's own user base, conditioned to treat its channels as authoritative. The open question is whether this was an account compromise, a third-party tool, or something else, and how quickly the company can verify and communicate that — the credibility cost scales with the silence, not the incident.
