Cold Storage Compromise denotes the successful breach of a system designed for offline storage of digital assets. This typically secure method, where private keys are kept disconnected from the internet, is intended to safeguard assets from online threats. A compromise implies that an attacker has gained unauthorized access to these offline keys, allowing the theft of associated funds. This event subverts a primary security measure.
