According to PANews, CoinStats, a popular cryptocurrency tracking app, was attacked by hackers who sent phishing links to users through notifications. Approximately 1,590 wallets were affected by this breach.
The most significantly impacted was a wallet belonging to Blurr.eth. The hackers stole 3,657 MKR tokens, equivalent to $8.7 million, from this wallet and sold them on-chain for 2,482 ETH. This sudden sale caused the price of MKR to drop from $2,462 to $2,280, a short-term decline of 7%.
This incident underscores the importance of maintaining robust security measures in the cryptocurrency space, particularly for platforms that handle user wallets. Users are advised to be vigilant about the links they click on, especially those received through notifications or emails, as they could potentially be phishing attempts by hackers.
