Coinkite Under Fire for Keeping Customer Emails After $88M Coldcard Hack

tags, etc. The content has multiple paragraphs and headings. We'll translate each part. Let's break down the original: Title: "Coinkite Under Fire for Keeping Customer Emails After $88M Coldcard Hack" Content: - First paragraph: Coinkite, the company behind the Coldcard hardware wallet, is facing backlash for holding onto customer email addresses after an $88 million hack linked to its devices. The firm sent security notices to users this week, warning them of a high risk of losing their bitcoin — but critics say the company shouldn't have kept that contact data in the first place. - Heading: "What Coinkite told users" - Paragraph: The security notice, sent to customers who had purchased Coldcard wallets, warned that a recent exploit could lead to total loss of funds. Coinkite urged users to move their bitcoin immediately. But the email itself reignited a privacy debate: why did Coinkite still have customers' email addresses years after their purchases? - Heading: "Novak's 90-day claim" - Paragraph: Rodolfo Novak, co-founder and CEO of Coinkite, said the company retains customer data for only 90 days after a purchase. That timeline, he argued, is standard practice and should have meant most affected users were no longer in the system. But the hack — which drained roughly $88 million from Coldcard wallets — happened recently, and some customers who bought devices within the past three months were still on file. - Heading: "The privacy problem" - Paragraph: Critics argue that even a 90-day retention window is too long for a company that markets itself on security and privacy. Coldcard has long positioned itself as a cold-storage solution for bitcoin maximalists who want to avoid any third-party risk. Holding onto email addresses, even temporarily, creates a potential attack surface — especially if Coinkite's own systems get compromised. - Paragraph: Coinkite hasn't said whether it will change its data retention policy. The company is still investigating the hack, and Novak hasn't commented on whether the exploit was tied to a vulnerability in the hardware or a supply-chain issue. For now, users who got the warning email are left to decide whether to trust Coinkite's hardware — or its data practices. Meta description: "Coinkite faces criticism for retaining customer emails after an $88 million Coldcard hack. CEO Rodolfo Novak says data is kept for 90 days after purchase." We'll translate to Turkish. Let's do it step by step. Title: "Coinkite, 88 Milyon Dolarlık Coldcard Hack'inden Sonra Müşteri E-postalarını Tutması Nedeniyle Tepkiyle Karşılaşıyor" or something like that. We need to be accurate. "Under fire" means being criticized, so "tepkiyle karşılaşıyor" or "eleştiriliyor". Also, "keeping customer emails" -> "müşteri e-postalarını tutması". Let's craft: "Coinkite, 88 Milyon Dolarlık Coldcard Hack'i Sonrası Müşteri E-postalarını Tutmasıyla Eleştiriliyor" but we need to keep the structure. I'll use "Tepkiyle Karşılaşıyor" for "Under Fire". Actually, "Under fire" is idiomatic, but "eleştiri odağında" might be better. Let's see. We'll write: "Coinkite, 88 Milyon Dolarlık Coldcard Hack'inden Sonra Müşteri E-postalarını Tutması Nedeniyle Tepkiyle Karşılaşıyor" But we need to ensure it's natural. Perhaps: "Coinkite, 88 Milyon Dolarlık Coldcard Hack'i Sonrası Müşteri E-postalarını Sakladığı İçin Eleştiriliyor" - "saklamak" means to keep/store. I'll use "tutması" or "saklaması". I'll go with "tutması" as it's closer to "keeping". Let's finalize: "Coinkite, 88 Milyon Dolarlık Coldcard Hack'inden Sonra Müşteri E-postalarını Tutması Nedeniyle Tepkiyle Karşılaşıyor" But we need to preserve the original meaning: "Under Fire" implies being attacked or criticized. "Tepkiyle karşılaşıyor" is fine. Now content: We'll translate each paragraph. First paragraph: "Coinkite, the company behind the Coldcard hardware wallet, is facing backlash for holding onto customer email addresses after an $88 million hack linked to its devices. The firm sent security notices to users this week, warning them of a high risk of losing their bitcoin — but critics say the company shouldn't have kept that contact data in the first place." Translation: "Coldcard donanım cüzdanının arkasındaki şirket olan Coinkite, cihazlarıyla bağlantılı 88 milyon dolarlık bir hack sonrası müşteri e-posta adreslerini elinde tuttuğu için tepkiyle karşılaşıyor. Şirket bu hafta kullanıcılara, bitcoinlerini kaybetme riskinin yüksek olduğu konusunda uyarıda bulunan güvenlik bildirimleri gönderdi — ancak eleştirmenler, şirketin bu iletişim verilerini baştan tutmaması gerektiğini söylüyor." We need to preserve the dash. We'll use em dash or just a dash. In Turkish, we can use "—" as well. Heading 1: "What Coinkite told users" -> "Coinkite kullanıcılara ne söyledi?" Paragraph: "The security notice, sent to customers who had purchased Coldcard wallets, warned that a recent exploit could lead to total loss of funds. Coinkite urged users to move their bitcoin immediately. But the email itself reignited a privacy debate: why did Coinkite still have customers' email addresses years after their purchases?" Translation: "Coldcard cüzdanları satın almış müşterilere gönderilen güvenlik bildirimi, yakın zamanda yaşanan bir açığın fonların tamamen kaybına yol açabileceği konusunda uyardı. Coinkite, kullanıcıları bitcoinlerini derhal taşımaya çağırdı. Ancak e-postanın kendisi bir gizlilik tartışmasını yeniden alevlendirdi: Coinkite, müşterilerin e-posta adreslerini satın almalarından yıllar sonra neden hâlâ elinde tutuyordu?" Heading 2: "Novak's 90-day claim" -> "Novak'ın 90 günlük iddiası" or "Novak'ın 90 günlük açıklaması" but "claim" means iddia. I'll use "Novak'ın 90 günlük iddiası". Paragraph: "Rodolfo Novak, co-founder and CEO of Coinkite, said the company retains customer data for only 90 days after a purchase. That timeline, he argued, is standard practice and should have meant most affected users were no longer in the system. But the hack — which drained roughly $88 million from Coldcard wallets — happened recently, and some customers who bought devices within the past three months were still on file." Translation: "Coinkite'in kurucu ortağı ve CEO'su Rodolfo Novak, şirketin müşteri verilerini satın alma işleminden yalnızca 90 gün sonrasına kadar tuttuğunu söyledi. Bu zaman diliminin, standart bir uygulama olduğunu ve etkilenen kullanıcıların çoğunun artık sistemde olmaması gerektiğini savundu. Ancak Coldcard cüzdanlarından yaklaşık 88 milyon dolar çeken hack yakın zamanda gerçekleşti ve son üç ay içinde cihaz satın alan bazı müşteriler hâlâ kayıtlıydı." Heading 3: "The privacy problem" -> "Gizlilik sorunu" Paragraph: "Critics argue that even a 90-day retention window is too long for a company that markets itself on security and privacy. Coldcard has long positioned itself as a cold-storage solution for bitcoin maximalists who want to avoid any third-party risk. Holding onto email addresses, even temporarily,
