Metamask dev is investigating a massive wallet draining operation

in crypto •  2 years ago 

  • Drained wallets included wallets with keys created in 2014, OGs, not noobs.
  • Those drained are ones working in crypto, with jobs in crypto or with multiple defi addresses.
  • Most recent guess is hacker got access to a fat cache of data from 1 year ago and is methodically draining funds.
  • Is your wallet compromised? Is your seed safe? No one knows for sure. This is the pretty unnerving part.
  • There is no connections to the hacked wallets, no one knows how the seeds were compromised.
  • Seeds that were active in Metamask have been drained.
  • Seeds NOT active in Metamask have been drained.
  • Seeds from people who are NOT Metamask users have been drained.
  • Wallets created from HARDWARE wallets have been drained.
  • Wallets from Genesis sale have been drained.
  • Investigation still going on. I guess we can only wait for more info.
