Atomic Wallet was the victim of a hacker attack

Users of the Atomic Wallet cryptocurrency wallet reported that their funds were compromised. Atomic Wallet team statedwhich is making every effort to investigate and analyze the situation and has promised to share more information as it becomes available. According to the representatives of the wallet, in case of problems and for any questions, you can contact the support service at [email protected].

According to security experts from SlowMist, the reason for the attack may be that the official website of Atomic Wallet has recently been updated. Perhaps the hackers managed to change the source code of the software on the server for download by ordinary users. Thus, attackers could gain access to users’ private keys and passwords and transfer their funds to their addresses.

Atomic Wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet that supports over 300 coins and tokens. It allows users to store, exchange and buy cryptocurrencies without the need for registration or verification. The wallet claims that it does not store any personal data or private keys of users on its servers, and that all transactions take place in a decentralized manner.

In February 2022, Least Authority conducted a comprehensive wallet security audit and discovered several vulnerabilities in system design. It has been reported that these vulnerabilities could allow attackers to gain access to users’ private keys and passwords and steal their funds.
