Insane. Their account was apparently hacked and they just phished whatever few supporters they had left.

We are investigating how a post containing a phishing link was published from this account. It has since been deleted.

Do not visit or interact with that link. COLDCARD’s only official website is https://coldcard.com.

This account has used offline 2FA with tightly restricted access since 2017. We have contacted @X and are reviewing all account access.

We will share further verified updates here.

Worth noting their own statement says the account had offline 2FA with tightly restricted access since 2017, so «they must have used a weak password» probably isn't the story here. Whatever got in, the lesson for the rest of us keeps repeating with wallets and swaps alike: a link from an official-looking account is still just a link. Type the domain you already know (they say coldcard.com is the only official one) or use a bookmark, and treat any urgent post that sends you somewhere new as hostile until the vendor confirms it elsewhere.
