AI-generated
Crypto thieves stole over 75 million Euros worth of Bitcoin from thousands of offline hardware wallets due to a firmware error since March 2021. The error caused random number generators to malfunction, making seed phrases predictable. An update does not help; stolen assets must be transferred to new wallets.
