MetaMask addresses ETH wallet hack
Accoridng to the latest reports coming from the online publication the Daily Hodl, the crypto wallet MetaMask is addressing recent reports of Ethereum (ETH) wallets being hacked for millions of dollars, saying that the attacks are not related to weaknesses in the company’s software.
Earlier this week, Taylor Monahan, CEO of Ethereum-focused wallet MyCrypto, said in a lengthy thread that she had uncovered a “massive wallet draining operation,” which saw 5,000 ETH siphoned across 11 different chains since December 2022.
He also stated the fact that the hacks are targeting large wallets belonging to “OG” Ethereum holders who likely practice high levels of security.
“For the past 48 hours, I’ve been unwinding a massive wallet draining operation. I don’t know how big it is, but since Dec 2022, it’s drained 5000+ ETH and ??? in tokens/NFTs (non-fungible tokens)/coins across 11+ chains…”
He continued and said this:
“This is NOT a low-brow phishing site or a random scammer. It has NOT rekt a single noob. It ONLY rekts OGs…”
He concluded by saying the following:
“[As far as I know], no one has determined the source of their compromise. Multiple devices have been forensic’d. Nothing.”
