Two significant cybersecurity incidents have emerged this week, highlighting the persistent risks to both personal data and digital assets. In France, the retail chain Intermarché confirmed that a cyberattack on its internal systems resulted in the unauthorized access and exfiltration of personal data belonging to approximately 300,000 customers of its Drive service. Simultaneously, global cryptocurrency markets are reeling from a major security flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets, which has led to the theft of over $110 million in Bitcoin due to a coding error in how the devices generated security keys.
