wallets, but it is unclear if this is related to the current situation.
We’ve all heard the reports that Atomic Wallet has been compromised. With over 5 million users and many claiming to have had funds drained from multiple wallets, it’s clear something is going on. Atomic Wallet has yet to confirm nor deny whether this is the result of an attack or exploit, but it’s another reminder of how dangerous cryptocurrency can be. Thousands of people have already lost a lot of money without even making a mistake on their own.
It’s understandable to be scared when considering moving crypto funds. After 6 years of keeping my satoshis on a CEX, I finally decided to move them to a Trust Wallet. Although it was a challenge, it was worth the effort. After reading these kinds of reports, I’m even more scared. It’s time to start studying cold wallets and how to use them securely.
Back in April, there was a malware vulnerability reported on MacOS involving crypto wallets. It’s unclear if this is related to the current situation with Atomic Wallet, but it’s an important reminder to always stay safe when using cryptocurrency. Good luck out there.
