Federal investigators are making progress on a major crypto heist. Reports show that investigators traced the initial wave of Coldcard wallet thefts back to a paid data account. This breakthrough points directly toward the attacker who managed to make off with 1,082 BTC.

The exploit targeted users of the popular Coldcard hardware wallet, which is normally known for its tight security. While the tracking of the paid data account is a major lead, the FBI has not yet confirmed whether they have officially identified or charged a suspect in the case.

Security experts advise hardware wallet users to stay alert and follow best security practices. As the investigation continues, the crypto community will be watching closely to see if federal agencies can successfully recover the stolen Bitcoin or make an arrest.
