## Resource

Peter breaks down the latest SecondFi incident updates, why the issue was not a Cardano protocol hack, what affected users should avoid doing, how the white-hat recovery appears to have protected most funds, and why hardware wallets matter. Key Takeaways: - SecondFi says the security risk is at the address level and affected users should not restore their recovery phrase into another Cardano wallet. - The incident appears tied to vulnerable wallet key generation rather than a Cardano protocol-level hack. - SecondFi reported that external threat actors drained about 16 million ADA, while emergency white-hat measures secured about 129 million ADA for affected wallets. - Users should rely on official SecondFi support updates and be alert for scammers impersonating support during the recovery process. - Peter explains why hardware wallets such as Keystone, Ledger, and Tangem reduce signing and seed-phrase exposure risks. - The episode also covers positive ecosystem updates including the Leios Musashi Dojo testnet and RealFi progress.
