Peter breaks down the latest SecondFi incident updates, why the issue was not a Cardano protocol hack, what affected users should avoid doing, how the white-hat recovery appears to have protected most funds, and why hardware wallets matter.

Key Takeaways:
- SecondFi says the security risk is at the address level and affected users should not restore their recovery phrase into another Cardano wallet.
- The incident appears tied to vulnerable wallet key generation rather than a Cardano protocol-level hack.
- SecondFi reported that external threat actors drained about 16 million ADA, while emergency white-hat measures secured about 129 million ADA for affected wallets.
- Users should rely on official SecondFi support updates and be alert for scammers impersonating support during the recovery process.
- Peter explains why hardware wallets such as Keystone, Ledger, and Tangem reduce signing and seed-phrase exposure risks.
- The episode also covers positive ecosystem updates including the Leios Musashi Dojo testnet and RealFi progress.
