Former Global CTO, Sea Shepherd | Certified Cyber Risk Officer | How AI is weaponized against people & businesses, and what to do about it. Posts ≠ endorsement
Nobody hacked the CFO who wired $2 million to a scammer last month.
They just called him, in his CEO's voice.
AI voice cloning has made "I heard it with my own ears" worthless. Trust itself is now the attack surface.
I spent 30 years running technology against real adversaries. Now I break down how AI is being weaponized against people and businesses, and what to do about it.
Full breakdown on my channel. Link below.

Check out these two Bitcoin seed phrases:
(a general lesson in entropy)
SEED A:
ocean tiger silver dance pigeon melody crystal rocket amber jungle violin sunset.
Now check out this one:
SEED B:
garden mirror silent canyon river melody crystal rocket amber jungle violin sunset
They both look random to me.
But this is the issue that has unfortunately happened with the Coldcard wallet bug.
It's random generator didn't give sufficient randomness.
You can't tell the two phrases apart if you use the device to give you your words.
You get them. You write them down. Stamp them in steel. Done.
All proper 12-word BIP-39 seed phrases starts with 128 bits of high-quality randomness (entropy).
And most devices have a TRNG (True Random Number Generator).
If that TRNG is flawed or has a bug, the device doesn't produce the full 128 bits of real entropy (or 256 bits for a 24-word seed phrase).
SEED A above was generated with 128 bits of entropy.
SEED B, however, was generated with only 40 bits of entropy.
Again, so what? Doesn't someone still have to guess those 12 words?
With only 40 bits of entropy, a skilled attacker could download the entire possibilities of those seed words, which is about 1.1 trillion.
Although large, that's small enough to run a program, extract every possibility, and begin taking funds from wallets with balances.
This is the bug/attack that struck Coinkite with their Coldcark MK3 generated seeds (using firmware 4.0.1 and later).
You cannot spot the problem just by looking at the words👀
SEED A above has the full 128 bit entropy, and thus gives 340 undecillion combinations.
This number can't be brute forced with any computing power currently available to man.
The fix?
Roll your own words for true, full randomness you can see and verify. Add a passphrase (a 13th "word") to increase that randomness. And don't let those words touch the internet.
But still... look into multi-sig. It really solves so many problems that we've had and continue to have.
🚨ALERTA🚨
Coldcard, una de las hardware wallets de Bitcoin más IMPORTANTES, ha sufrido un HACKEO MASIVO 👀‼️
Hoy se ha confirmado uno de los drenajes más brutales de la historia del self-custody.
En solo 25-40 minutos, un atacante vació entre 500 y 1.200 wallets de Bitcoin. Se llevaron más de 1.000 BTC (algunas fuentes hablan de 594, otras de 1.082).
Muchas de esas wallets llevaban años dormidas, con monedas metidas entre 2021 y 2026.
¿Lo más loco?
Nadie tocó los dispositivos. No hubo phishing, no hubo malware, no hubo acceso físico. Las Coldcard son air-gapped… y aun así se las vaciaron.
El motivo: un fallo de firmware de marzo de 2021.
Os mantendré al tanto de todas las novedades…

If you were affected by AZZA Miner, this message is for you.
We may have been scammed, but we are NOT alone.
Behind every wallet address is a real person.
A father.
A mother.
A retired couple.
A veteran.
Someone who spent years saving.
Someone who trusted the wrong people.
Many of us didn't lose "extra money."
We lost years of savings.
Some sold long-term investments believing they were making a better financial decision.
Then one day...
The website went offline.
Withdrawals stopped.
The people behind it disappeared.
Families around the world were left searching for answers.
Today, victims from multiple countries are preserving evidence, filing reports, and standing together because we refuse to let this simply disappear.
If you're with the FBI, FTC, financial regulators, blockchain investigators, journalists, or anyone who has the ability to help...
Please don't see this as just another crypto story.
There are real families behind these losses.
We're asking for the evidence to be followed, for the people responsible to be identified, and for every available legal avenue to be pursued.
If you were affected, know this:
You are not alone.

Hey @zachxbt, I’m helping coordinate evidence for a growing group of Azza Miner victims.
Azza presented itself as AI/solar Bitcoin cloud mining with daily ROI, dashboards, Trustpilot-style social proof, influencer promotion, then ��Texas relocation”, deposit bonuses during withdrawal issues, and website/app failure. A very slick Ponzi....
We have 10+ victims submitting TXIDs, wallet addresses, deposit records, failed withdrawals, screenshots, timelines and promoter evidence.
Would you be open to reviewing evidence pack once organised? so many people were scammed.

@fyreinteractive This will only get you a nice de-monetization fast or a ban, YT can sniff it a mile away and the AI models even the newest are not yet there for these tasks without heavy input and human correction.
@PineBox28@findnick1@elonmusk In my view because "ignorance is bliss" ie they don't think as much about the consequences OR if in a western society, there is alot of "social support" the more resourceful "poor people" take advantage of.... Pick either...
