” Damn, all the hard work money has disappeared all at once on Atomic Wallet “, is indignant a user on Twitter. Every act of hacking, scamming and rug-pulling always has its victims. And we are still far, very far, from the end of this wickedness.
Atomic Wallet hacked
Several acts of fraud deprived DeFi companies of more than $45 million in May. As for the hacks, we don’t have statistics on this subject: apart from the fact that hackers were able to siphon off $3.8 billion in 2022.
Unfortunately, these malicious acts have always persisted despite alerts and efforts to secure crypto companies.
Just yesterday, Cointelegraph reported thatAtomic Wallet has been hacked. Here is the company’s official Twitter post regarding this topic.
” We have received reports of compromised wallets. We are doing everything we can to investigate and analyze the situation. As soon as we have more information, we will share it accordingly.
For any question or problem, contact [email protected] »
We will note that no precise information regarding the amount of stolen cryptos has been mentioned so far.
Several outraged users
And there is reason to be since Atomic Wallet has also already experienced such a situation in the past. A victim recalled it below the team’s official publication.
” It happened to my BTC 6 months ago with Atomic. They simply advised me to ‘protect your pw, seed phrase’, blah blah… I told them that was not even possible! All I do is use U to trade and then move crypto. I told them that I would no longer use U! Now I was right. »
Another user, Tom, also posted this moving response on Twitter:
” Damn, all my hard work money disappeared from Atomic Wallet all of a sudden!!! It is your responsibility to secure the funds, what will happen to our funds? Please don’t copy-paste anything here! Just give a clear answer, many users face this today! »
According to their fury, there would be a massive departure from Atomic soon for more secure wallets like Ledger.
Surprisingly, the site Money.com included Atomic Wallet in its Top 8 crypto wallets for this month of June. Atomic had been given a place next to MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger Nano S Plus…
However, with what had just happened, users will gladly unlist it. And the Atomic Wallet team will also have to revise its slogan ” Your Keys – your Crypto! Decentralized Wallet trusted by 5M+ users! “.
