[Facing Class Action Lawsuit in Canada, Coldcard Manufacturer Coinkite Accused of Firmware Random Number Defects] Odaily Planet Daily News: Coldcard hardware wallet manufacturer Coinkite and its co-founders Rodolfo Novak and Peter D. Gray are facing a class action lawsuit in Ontario, Canada. The lawsuit alleges that the standard firmware used by Coldcard hardware wallets since around March 2021 has fundamental defects, as it does not utilize a true random number generator but instead relies on a predictable software pseudo-random number generator. This flaw could lead to mnemonic phrases being reproduced, exposing users' Bitcoin holdings to unauthorized access risks. The lawsuit seeks class certification and claims that Coinkite violated the Consumer Protection Act and the Sale of Goods Act, while also involving allegations of negligence and breach of contract, demanding compensation.
