COLDCARD said a phishing post appeared on its official X account and was later deleted. The post pointed users to a fake wallet migration page, and the company said it found no matching login record while stating that its credentials and offline two-factor authentication remain secure. A separate researcher found the fake site was built to collect wallet recovery phrases.
