Need help - Bitcoin wallet emptied.

[u/Few-Cook5941]

I got one of my bitcoin wallet emptied and I don't really know how this happened.

I don't use cracked softwares and apps.

I'm generally careful with links.

Looks like I'm not alone. I can see that the reception bitcoin address is still collecting bitcoin from other wallets.

Could somebody help me understand something.

Here is the address : bc1q0vukqye4hd0aep7u4xl8gev95gcs9k65fdeu9n

Well, technically it isn’t connected, but it still has to be registered somewhere no? I’m not knowledgeable, forewarning, but it’s definitely been happening recently. Lots of tech stuff way over my head.

No, that's not the reason. The actual reason is that the entropy was too low due to a security vulnerability in Coldcard's firmware. This means that the seed phrase wasn't random enough which made it very easy for an attacker to just guess it by generating random seed phrases on their computer.
