My bet this attack was weeks in the making. Once the attackers assembled enough private keys for high value utxos they executed.

My biggest disappointment is relying on a hardware vendor that has 'Don't Trust. Verify.' plastered all over their product marketing and the primary motivation that led to the bug was a 'get out of open source' licensing issue.

Let this be a lesson for all in the industry.

'Not your keys, not your coins' rings a bit hollow now.

It's more like: 'God plays dice for those who self-custody.'
