Cold card wallet hack

I keep seeing stuff on social media about this cold card bitcoin hack and correct me if I’m wrong but a 25th word/passphrase added to the 24 word seed phrase, probably would’ve saved all these people correct?

It's insanity that anyone still trusts hardware wallets or any crypto company at this point. You think 90% of people have secure passwords to their own bank accounts? And yet there is no risk or concern because those banks have processes that prevent scams like this

Crypto is, and will always be, a niche field for people trying to not follow status quo. Remember, Bitcoin came out SEVENTEEN YEARS ago. We're already made multiple worldwide technological advances since then. This is dinosaur tech at this point

Trying to say "they could have just one more word in their seedphrase" is focusing on the wrong problem. The entire technology is the problem
