Last night, Bitwarden's command-line tool got backdoored. For 90 minutes on April 22, anyone who installed @bitwarden/cli version 2026.4.0 from npm handed over their GitHub tokens, SSH keys, cloud credentials, shell history, and crypto wallet data (MetaMask, Phantom, Solana) to attackers. The vault encryption held. Everything around it didn't. The attack didn't target Bitwarden's code. It targeted a GitHub Action in their build pipeline. Attackers hijacked the workflow, pushed a poisoned package to npm, and waited for developers to install it. Same playbook that hit Trivy, Checkmarx, and LiteLLM over the last six weeks. This is the problem with modern software distribution. Every install is a trust chain. npm trusts GitHub. GitHub trusts the maintainer. The maintainer trusts their pipeline. Break any link and millions of machines download malware wrapped in legitimate branding. Here is why XColdPro and XVaultPro are built differently. XColdPro ships as a signed, compiled binary. No npm. No pip install. No live dependency resolution. You download it, verify the hash, and run it. There is no pipeline on your machine to hijack because there is no pipeline. XVaultPro works the same way. Standalone. Offline capable. Zero package manager dependencies at runtime. Your passwords and seed phrases never touch a build system that can be compromised while you sleep. We designed both products on a simple principle: if the supply chain can be attacked, remove the supply chain. No auto-updates pulling from compromised registries. No telemetry calling home to servers that can be poisoned. No dependencies that can be swapped under you. When the next npm compromise hits, and it will, XColdPro and XVaultPro users will not be rotating credentials at 3 AM. They will be sleeping. 🔒 XColdPro: xcoldpro.com 🔒 XVaultPro: xvaultpro.com

Maths lovers Prove your brain power!

Check if you're among the smartest people. Use only your brain to solve. Can you find the missing angle?

The attack surface does not stay the same size. Every new holder is a new target. Every new device is a new entry point. Every new service built on top of crypto is another layer that can fail, get compromised, or get abandoned without notice. And AI is compressing the time between a vulnerability being found and it being weaponized. The window that used to exist between patch and exploit is getting shorter every year. The answer that scales with that is not better software, faster patches, or stronger cloud security. It is removing the key from any environment those things can touch. @XColdPro RC Day 33.

He is not wrong. And the team did not build @XColdPro for the world as it is today. We built it for the one Lopp is describing. RC Day 33. rc.xcoldpro.com

Calculus uses zero to the 0 power as a limit. However in discrete math and basic algebra, 0 to the 0 power = 1 is treated as hard convention because several foundational formulas break without it. Binomial theorem, power/taylor series, combinatorics and set theory, polynomials in general so - 0 to the 0 power is an indeterminate ONLY when it arises as a limit of competing infinities like 0 to the X power vs x to the 0 power racing to 0. In contexts where the exponent is a fixed integer, especially 0, the value of 1 is the ONLY answer that keeps algebra intact -

@XColdProCDO @DasDummkopfDorf @Beno10_MFC 0⁰ is an indeterminate form. But what kind of formulas would need 0⁰ as 1 for that doesn't cause error?

Almost all people with high IQ underestimated this mathematical problem and ended up failing. Be smart Can you solve?

@HaShuwal @DasDummkopfDorf @Beno10_MFC Incorrect - Indeterminate is a SUBSET of undefined - context matters -0^0 will typically resolve to one for clean formula resolution -

@DasDummkopfDorf @XColdProCDO @Beno10_MFC incorrect, it is an indeterminate form

@HaShuwal @DasDummkopfDorf @Beno10_MFC like I said - except 0 - it is UNDEFINED because 2 rules collide - anything to the power of 0 is 1, but 0 to ANY power is 0, and both cannot be true at the same time

@DasDummkopfDorf @XColdProCDO @Beno10_MFC I'm curious, what in real life can 0⁰ defining it as 1 be useful for, without causing errors?

XColdPro fa il suo debutto nel cold storage professionale. Una soluzione software-first che ridefinisce i limiti degli hardware wallet tradizionali — pensata per chi cerca custodia seria, non un compromesso. Scopri di più su xcoldpro.com

Two more supply-chain compromises this week. Malicious Ruby gems and Go modules from a group called BufferZoneCorp. PyTorch Lightning versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. Both carried credential-theft payloads activated at install. The attack does not need to break the cryptography. It just needs to get between you and the software you trust. XColdPro updates are signed at the source and verified at the device before they run. The pipeline is assumed hostile until the signature says otherwise. RC Day 30. rc.xcoldpro.com

@ethan45738438 @Bella_91m7u Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Third Grade Math Reader 4+2x3 --> do 2 x 3 first = 6, then 4 + 6 = 10 yes 3rd grade - you should watch reruns of are you smarter than a 5th grader

@XColdProCDO @Bella_91m7u 5+6=11 is 3rd grade math......these silly a$$ questions are next level silly...LOL...that said

Only for sharp minds 🧠 Can you solve this in your first try? Let’s test your brain power🤔

Can you read?

Hardware ships through a supply chain. Software you boot from your own USB doesn't. That's the difference no one wants to talk about.

RC Day 28. Quick check-in. What's stable on the build: Void Lock, XBurnPro, Omega, Lazarus, Seed Vault, Citadel. All six protocols running. 13 languages. 16 themes. Sentinel Guard's twelve shields baseline. Plausible Deniability dual-password active. EMBO baseline. What we're polishing: edge-cases, language coverage, the small things you only notice when real users start touching it. What's next: Saturday May 2, 1pm MST. Brad and the team are hosting live on X via @XDRIP and Rumble. Bring the questions. rc.xcoldpro.com

@SqSehrish NEITHER OF THOSE IS CORRECT 10 ÷ 5 × 2 − 1 2 × 2 − 1 → 4 − 1 3 IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

One of these is right Pick carefully 🤯
