What happened
Company advised users not to visit or interact with the link in question and said it will share any further verified updates.
Reported details
- The incident underscores the critical need for vigilance against phishing threats and highlights potential vulnerabilities in social media security.
Why this matters
Coldcard sits on the regulatory side rather than the structural side: the useful question is which dated rule, if any, follows this notice, and who wrote it. A rule that is not published yet changes nothing about who may act today, so treat the pending text as pending rather than as settled.
Evidence boundary
The scope is limited to what the linked reports state, and where two of them diverge both positions are recorded without either being picked in advance.
What to verify
Before acting on Coldcard, read the dated rule text itself rather than a summary of it, and note which agency wrote it and whether the comment period is still open.
