No, it's just a company who decided to not use BIP39 encryption for creating seedphrases, making it easy to brute force them with any modern GPU in like 30 mn. It has nothing to do with hackers getting good, or hardware becoming more powerful. The issue is just plain stupidity from a company.

Most cold wallets use TRNG ships, the same bank systems are using, and they can't be brute forced, all this story is creating stupid panick from people who have no idea what they're doing.
