Odd that you wouldn't use separate keys for that given the wildly different levels of risk involved.

Separate keys for what? They believed they were signing a routine transaction. That’s the whole idea of the hack.

Splitting funds over 100 wallets would’ve helped. A 100x lower amount would be lost.

And/Or having separate hardened devices used only for signing.

  • Separate keys (ie wallets) for routine small transactions versus the cold wallets used for huge sums. Perhaps I've misunderstood but it sounded like they performed a rare transaction while being led to believe it was a routine one. I'm wondering why you wouldn't split the infrastructure given the differences in risk.

    • Sorry, yeah, I misunderstood what you meant! Splitting funds more would’ve been a good idea. And being paranoid about _any_ transaction touching the “big-pot” wallet too!
