There’s two possibilities: - your hardware wallet was one of the ones that used poor entropy in generating a seed phrase and finally ended up in the carousel of wallets that got popped - the grimmest possibility, one I’ve been warning about

I have a proof of concept that enhances Pollard's Rho such that it speeds up the search in solving the DLP. It's not a complete break, but if it were deployed at a large nation state scale, could crack a 256-bit ECC key (secp256k1, ed25519) in about a year. Highly unlikely what hit Boro, but if it's not bad entropy,

Yeah, working on that, wanting to get the POC circulated with relevant folks so they can see the ramifications for themselves.

FWIW there are faster algorithms than Rho for solving DLP, but even they still take a considerably long enough time that 256 bit ECC is considered “safe”. This approach remains in the spirit of Rho (rather than index calculus or function field sieve)
