"Atomic Wallet Customers Lose Over $35m in Crypto Attacks"

A popular provider of cryptocurrency wallets has recently revealed that some of its customers have been compromised in a campaign that has already cost them an estimated tens of millions of dollars.  Atomic Wallet, which offers a decentralized wallet that supports over 500 coins and tokens, says its mission is to “provide a convenient way of managing cryptocurrencies.”  However, reports recently started coming in of customer wallets being compromised.  The company noted that, at the moment, less than 1% of their monthly active users have been affected/reported.  A security investigation is ongoing.  The company noted that they report victim addresses to major exchanges and blockchain analytics to trace and block the stolen funds.  One blockchain investigator claimed as of Sunday that at least $35m had been stolen, with the biggest victim losing nearly $8m and the five biggest losses amounting to nearly half of the total ($17m).  More than 100 customer wallets have been listed as impacted by the attacks, and any additional users that have been compromised are urged to share their addresses and transaction hashes to help determine the scope and scale of the incident.
