Atomic Wallet is a mobile and desktop crypto wallet allowing users to store various cryptocurrencies. The wallet is offered for multiple operating systems, including Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux.
Millions of dollars’ worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen from customers of Atomic Wallet. On Saturday, the project’s developers admitted that their users’ data had been compromised.
The developers of Atomic Wallet are investigating reports of large-scale theft of cryptocurrency from users' wallets, with over $35 million in crypto reportedly stolen.
Over a hundred addresses were compromised, and assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, BSC, Cardano, Ripple, Polkadot, Cosmos, Algorand, Avalanche, Litecoin, and Dogecoin were taken.
The largest single loss amounts to $7.95 million USDT. According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, the five largest losses total $17 million.Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT has been collecting transactions of funds stolen from Atomic Wallet victims and says that over $35 million in crypto has been stolen due to this compromise."Just surpassed $14M worth of stolen funds on my graph across Bitcoin, ETH, Tron, BSC, ADA, Ripple, Polkadot, Cosmos, Algo, Avax, XLM, LTC and Doge," explained ZachXBT.
Researcher later stated that additional transactions boosted the stolen amount above $35 million.
Atomic Wallet is now collecting information from victims, asking what operating system they are using, where they downloaded the software, what was done before crypto was stolen, and where the backup phrase was stored.Victims are also asked to submit this information, and more, on a Google Docs form that was created to investigate the incident.While some users report that their crypto was stolen after a recent software update.
