๐จ THE #COLDCARD ATTACK HAS ESCALATED ๐จ
MOVING YOUR FUNDS ACTUALLY MAKES YOU A HIGHER PRIORITY FOR GETTING SWEPT. ๐ซช
The attackers are clearly running a script that will IMMEDIATELY sweep you if you try to move your funds. ๐ซ
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. ๐ญ
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. ๐โโ๏ธ
This is SO fucked; spread for awareness. ๐ค
