Bitkeep Wallets in DeFi Hack
On December 26, several BitKeep customers who utilize the multichain cryptocurrency wallet claimed that their cash had been taken out and moved when they were not using their wallets. The BitKeep team acknowledged that some APK package downloads had been compromised by some attackers and had malicious malware injected during installation in their official Telegram channel.
The BitKeep team advised its customers to move their money to a wallet that originated from a trusted source, such as Google Play or the Apple App Store, while the breach went on. In addition, the team urged members of the community to utilize newly generated wallet addresses because their old ones may have already been publicly revealed to hackers. The BitKeep team requested that the impacted users provide the pertinent information via a Google form to aid in the inquiry.
Digital Assets At One Wallet Address
There are currently more than $5 million in digital assets at one wallet address that is thought to belong to a hacker. PeckShield, a blockchain security and analytics company, stated that more than $8 million in Tether, DAI, BNB, and Ether had been taken so far, despite the fact that the amount compromised is not yet final and the attackers are constantly moving money to different wallet addresses.
