Foundation phishing leak exposes Bitcoin hardware wallet users' personal data

Original: Foundation phishing leak exposes real names and physical addresses of $BTC hardware wallet users, bypassing cold storage

A phishing-related leak tied to Foundation has exposed real names and physical addresses of Bitcoin hardware wallet users, raising fears attackers could target people directly rather than breach cold storage devices. Security commentators say the incident shows physical threats can undermine self-custody, and some argue it may accelerate a shift of funds toward institutional MPC custody networks.

Why now: Reports that physical addresses of self-custodied Bitcoin holders were leaked have sparked concern about physical attacks and the limits of hardware wallet security.
