Update to incident: Coinkite confirms: a post containing a phishing link was published from the official Coldcard account on X
Coinkite still has not regained access to Coldcard's X account
The vendor reports that, as of October 12, it is still locked out of Coldcard's official social media account and is waiting for the platform to restore access. This means the account that previously published a phishing post remains outside Coinkite's control.
Actions to take
Until access is reported restored, do not treat posts from this account as the vendor's word: do not follow links from it or enter your seed phrase, and cross-check urgent news through Coinkite's other official channels.
