While many are still enjoying the holiday season, hackers are hard at work, draining around $8 million in an ongoing BitKeep wallet exploit.
They wrote: “If your funds are stolen, the application you download or update may be an unknown version (unofficial release version) hijacked.”
As the hack continued, the BitKeep team urged its users to transfer their funds to a wallet that came from official sources like Google Play and the Apple App Store.
While the amount exploited is still not final and the attackers are still currently transferring funds to multiple wallet addresses, blockchain security and analytics firm PeckShield highlighted that there’s been more than $8 million in Tether (USDT), DAI (DAI), BNB (BNB) and Ether (ETH) stolen so far.
The exploit was conducted through a service that enabled token swaps.
