Many users have claimed to have lost access to their crypto assets stored in the Atomic Wallet due to a possible hacking attack. Meanwhile, the developer has launched a probe.
Atomic is a noncustodial decentralised wallet, where the users are in charge of their assets.
“We have received reports of wallets being compromised. We are doing all we can to investigate and analyse the situation. As we have more information, we will share it accordingly,” stated Atomic’s team in a tweet on June 3.
Several users have left comments on the page alleging losses and that the digital wallet app has been wiped clean of all the money. Participating in the probe is on-chain investigator ZachBTX, renowned for tracking stolen money and supporting compromised companies. It’s unclear how the attack was carried out. Atomic states that it has more than five million users.
