"Hackers Steal Over $2 Million in Cryptocurrency From CoinStats Wallets"

Cryptocurrency portfolio manager CoinStats recently resumed activity after hackers drained over $2 million in virtual assets from 1,590 hosted wallets.  The incident occurred on Friday and prompted CoinStats to shut down its application to mitigate the attack.  Because CoinStats asks for read-only access to connected wallets, only some of those created directly within CoinStats were affected by the hack.  CoinStats noted that none of the connected wallets and CEXes were impacted.  CoinStats said that only 1.3% of all CoinStats Wallets were affected, totaling 1,590 wallets, but noted that the number might change as the investigation is ongoing, but they don’t expect significant changes.  CoinStats said the evidence suggests that North Korean hackers, specifically the notorious Lazarus Group, were responsible for the attack.
