Update on the SecondFi wallet exposure situation, including the latest official response, wallet safety guidance, recovery options, and the community tools being used to check whether a Cardano wallet may have been exposed.

Key takeaways:
- SecondFi says affected wallets should be treated as permanently compromised.
- Hardware wallets were not exposed in the same way as the affected hot-wallet flow.
- Users should avoid panic-moving funds from compromised wallets without understanding reward, staking, and native asset edge cases.
- SecondFi support is collecting affected-user details through its official support portal.
- Community tools can help check wallet exposure and build safer transactions to a clean wallet.
- Never share a seed phrase with any support site, app, or person.
