Time to update your #bitcoin cold storage threat model accordingly.
If your seed phrase is in your home, it's able to be seized.
I expect laws like this (and worse) to be passed elsewhere too. Secure your sats properly before it's too late.
UK seized new powers:
--Police will no longer be required to make an arrest before seizing crypto from a suspect.
--seize anything, such as written passwords, flash drives, or memory sticks
--destroy crypto assets, such as privacy coins, for the "public good", like Monero
--goes into effect today
This has the text copy-pasted from the official UK website, but without having to have your IP address literally connect to the official cybercrime division website, (ironically, I seized their text)
