They did it. They actually did it.
They actually managed to fuck up and reuse nonces for Ed25519 sigs.
Incredible things happening on Cardano.
Innovation, even. 😳

Important Security Update.
As stated, we have identified the root cause of the incident. It is at the address level.
The affected software signer used a deterministic nonce derivation flaw. Every time an address signed a transaction, it leaked enough information to mathematically reconstruct that address's private key from public blockchain data alone.
If you were affected by the attack, your first/default address (index 0) is almost certainly exposed. It is the address that some wallets may be using by default or as the only address at all, and nearly always has transactions. That history is all an attacker needs.
Please DO NOT RESTORE your recovery phrase into another Cardano wallet. This does not mitigate the security risk.
Your keys are derived from your recovery phrase, not from the app. Restoring the same phrase into another wallet recreates identical addresses with identical exposure. The compromised thing is the key of the compromised address(es), not the interface you are using.

ERROR said and $ADA crashed!!
🚨JUST IN: CARDANO CRASHES TO $0.139, ITS LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2020, AMID A 16M $ADA EXPLOIT
Cardano’s selloff has deepened, sending ADA to a 6-year low and leaving it down over 95% from its peak.
This comes after SecondFi was hit by a 16M ADA exploit, with expected losses estimated at around $20M.
Translation: “We had a flaw in our signing code that exposed private keys
Here’s a long technical explanation that carefully avoids saying it was our bug”
