TREE NEWS update: Bitcoin hardware wallet maker Foundation said spam emails were sent through its official domain after one or more Cloudflare API keys were compromised. The affected keys have been revoked and the malicious domain used in the emails taken down. Foundation said funds stored in its Passport devices remain safe and the hardware itself was not compromised.
Foundation says spam emails sent via compromised Cloudflare API keys, Passport funds safe
The detail that matters here is the attack surface: the compromise ran through a third-party service provider, not the wallet firmware itself, which is why Foundation can credibly say Passport devices and funds were untouched. For hardware wallet users, this is a reminder that phishing infrastructure often sits one layer away from the product, and a breached email domain can lend spam the appearance of legitimacy even when the hardware is sound. Whether similar provider-level compromises surface at other wallet makers, and how quickly affected keys get revoked, is the open question worth watching.
