Cybercriminals have stolen approximately $130 million (€112.7 million) in Bitcoin by exploiting a critical software vulnerability in hardware wallets produced by Canadian firm Coinkite.
The breach highlights a growing concern in the crypto infrastructure sector: the failure of artificial intelligence tools to detect sophisticated code flaws during development.
The theft follows earlier reports estimating the loss at around $110 million, with the figure now rising as the full scope of the attack becomes clear.
Coinkite, the maker of the Coldcard wallet, acknowledged that its AI-assisted code review processes failed to identify the security gap.
This oversight allowed attackers to bypass the device's protections and drain funds from user accounts.
The incident marks one of the largest single breaches attributed to a hardware wallet vulnerability in recent years.
