INVESTIGATION UPDATE 2
In our last update, we said we would share how many people had personal information exposed once we could confirm it. We can now share those numbers.
Across our old WooCommerce store and our current Shopify store, records containing approximately 5,600 mailing addresses and 5,200 phone numbers, along with names and email addresses, were held in systems the attackers were able to reach. We cannot say for certain whether the attackers accessed all of these records, so we are treating all of them as potentially exposed. These records are a subset of our total customers.
Why the data was still there:
In our last update, we explained that copies of orders remained in old database tables after past migrations. We have since found that the 60-day redaction also did not cover every type of order, and that some customer details were stored in other parts of the store, such as abandoned carts and contact forms, that redaction never reached.
Addresses not in our records:
More than 5,000 of the email addresses that received phishing emails do not appear in our WooCommerce or Shopify customer records. Some match our support and hiring inboxes. Together with reports of details that were never shared with us, this makes us confident the attackers also used data from outside Foundation. We are still tracing where these addresses came from.
What we are doing:
Out of an abundance of caution, we are rotating all keys and secrets across our systems, including those we have no evidence were accessed.We are keeping a single copy of the legacy WooCommerce data offline as evidence for the investigation. Once the investigation is complete, that data will be permanently deleted.
We have found no evidence that this incident compromised Passport devices or the private keys they hold.
Never enter your recovery phrase into a website or share it with anyone, including someone claiming to be Foundation.
We will continue sharing confirmed findings and publish our full report when the investigation is complete.
Painful, but the coins were never on the device anyway. Funds live on the blockchain, and the keys are reproducible from the seed phrase, so a bricked device with no backup set up yet costs you nothing but the hardware.
I’m personally done with these sucker devices. I knew that they tend to leak your address so I always used a PO box but the attack vector is way too high, be it software side, supply chain or manufacturing side.
Trezor back in 2013.
It’s more like signing device, was never meant to be a cold storage solution but these bastards marketed it that way. They also fudded generic hardware but you look at what they say it’s bs.
Also the attack vector is way to high, which I personally wasn’t aware about. Like the whole open source means nothing if a software isn’t heavily reviewed and guix reproducible.
Only bitcoin core and Linux has that.
Most of these so called open source projects use libraries which are completely unaudited and are literally a sand box. A software can remain open source but a rouge dev can just ship a bug in the library and rug you.
Also the secure elements is backdoored which handles entropy in most hww, also can rug you via nonce attack. Dude they can fuck you over in ways you haven’t thought about.
Like for cold storage you don’t need those spyware and for hot wallet a iPhone will do fine or any android phone just dedicated to it if you’re travelling or you could just use bitcoin core on online laptop.
Luke was a retard who was using knots. Not core.
His wallet was online. That’s why you don’t run an implementation that’s maintained by a single developer.
Bitcoin core wallets are guix reproducible that no other wallets are. So putting a backdoor on it is not possible. Sure there can be bugs but not a backdoor.
You don’t have to keep the wallet online to create core wallet. You can use an offline laptop and create wallet in ram memory.
I was talking about hot wallet, where you can use core on laptop, that’s much safer than hww, because when you buy a hww, everyone knows you are gonna use it to store bitcoin in it, that’s a biggest risk factor compared to a generic device, which no one knows what you will use for.
