The security of one’s crypto assets is a serious matter, and one that seems to be becoming increasingly complex! At the time of writing, Atomic Wallet, a well-known solution in the ecosystem, seems to have been the victim of a hack!
Atomic Wallet, a hack in progress, the team has already been working on it for 8 hours…
Almost 8 hours ago, Atomic Wallet said it had received reports that wallets had been compromised.
The reality, according to SlowMist, seems to be that the Atomic Wallet website has been compromised to promote a tampered version …
The aim of this fraudulent version? To steal users’ precious seed phrase and therefore their funds! In response to this situation, Atomic Wallet has advised its users not to download the wallet from unofficial sources, and not to share their seed phrase!
For the benefit of newcomers and airheads alike: giving away your seed phrase is akin to handing over the keys to your house to a stranger!
Of course, if you own cryptocurrencies on Atomic Wallet, we STRONGLY urge you to transfer them to another wallet as a matter of urgency! We recommend Metamask or Ledger (despite the ongoing controversy), but in any case, don’t panic and be careful when transferring! Above all, watch out for ongoing scams on Twitter, Telegram and Discord, and wait for a new update from Atomic Wallet. We’ll keep you posted, but in the meantime, we hope you’re not affected by this new hack…
