๐Ÿšจ THE #COLDCARD ATTACK HAS ESCALATED ๐Ÿšจ

MOVING YOUR FUNDS ACTUALLY MAKES YOU A HIGHER PRIORITY FOR GETTING SWEPT. ๐Ÿซช

The attackers are clearly running a script that will IMMEDIATELY sweep you if you try to move your funds. ๐Ÿซ 

It appears that they have been compiling a database of affected addresses for YEARS, so if an affected address transaction hits the public mempool, the attacker is doing an INSTANT RBF (Replace By Fee) to beat out the person trying to save their funds. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

The ONLY way to avoid this is to hand your transaction DIRECTLY to a miner THAT DOES NOT BROADCAST TRANSACTIONS so that it will not hit the public mempool. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ

This is SO fucked; spread for awareness. ๐Ÿค™

Would this apply if moving from multi sig where just 1 of 2 is CC generated keys?

See my pinned post for how to mitigate this.

Why would attackers wait the address to transact instead of directly stealing utxos?
