Coldcard Firmware Bug Drained $38M in Bitcoin, Users Urged to Move Funds

,

. We need to translate the text. Let's translate paragraph by paragraph. First paragraph: "A critical firmware bug in Coldcard hardware wallets has enabled attackers to drain 594.48 Bitcoin — worth roughly $38.3 million — by predicting private keys using only the device's serial number and internal clock. The vulnerability stems from a broken random number generator introduced in a 2021 firmware update, and a subsequent fix in 2022 failed to fully resolve the issue. Coinkite, the company behind Coldcard, is now urging all affected users to generate a new seed on updated hardware and move their funds immediately." Translation: "Een kritieke firmwarebug in Coldcard-hardwareportefeuilles heeft aanvallers in staat gesteld om 594,48 Bitcoin — ter waarde van ongeveer $38,3 miljoen — af te tappen door privésleutels te voorspellen met alleen het serienummer van het apparaat en de interne klok. De kwetsbaarheid is het gevolg van een defecte generator voor willekeurige getallen die is geïntroduceerd in een firmware-update uit 2021, en een daaropvolgende fix in 2022 slaagde er niet in om het probleem volledig op te lossen. Coinkite, het bedrijf achter Coldcard, roept nu alle getroffen gebruikers op om een nieuwe seed te genereren op bijgewerkte hardware en hun fondsen onmiddellijk over te zetten." Note: "hardware wallets" -> "hardwareportefeuilles" or "hardware wallets" is also used. In Dutch, we often say "hardware wallet" as loanword. But we can say "hardwareportefeuilles" but that's not common. Better to keep "hardware wallets" or "hardware-wallets". I'll use "hardware-wallets" with hyphen. Actually, in Dutch tech articles, they often use "hardware wallet" as is. But for consistency, I'll use "hardware-wallets". Also "private keys" -> "privésleutels". "random number generator" -> "generator voor willekeurige getallen" or "random number generator" is also used. I'll use "random number generator" as loanword? Better to translate: "willekeurige getallengenerator" but that's a mouthful. I'll use "random number generator" as it's common. But we can say "defecte random number generator". I'll use "defecte generator voor willekeurige getallen" but that's long. Let's see: "broken random number generator" -> "defecte random number generator" is fine. I'll use "random number generator" as it's widely understood. Also "seed" is used in Dutch as "seed" or "zaad" but in crypto, "seed" is common. So "nieuwe seed" is fine. Second paragraph: "How the bug works" -> "Hoe de bug werkt" (heading). Then: "The flaw disables secure random number generation on certain Coldcard models. Attackers don't need physical access to the device. If they can see a wallet address or an exported public key, they can test guesses against the predictable private key — derived
