If NVK knew of the vulnerability how would coldkite go about fixing it without exposing to the public the flaw. It’s possible their hope was over time people would migrate their funds to new wallets lowering the attack surface. Seems like they were stuck if they knew and the best option was to hope it went unnoticed. Either way a total failure of the company.

Migration to new wallets doesn’t guarantee people will create new seeds, unfortunately
Yeah, I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it: once the poor-entropy seeds are out there, there's actually not much they can do besides some kind of desperate white hat hack which would probably be highly illegal, borderline immoral, and maybe not successful anyway.
