Yesterday the news broke of one of the biggest Crypto wallets ever being hacked and compromised, Atomic Wallet. This one likely hits very close to home as many here, including me, also had some of their assets on it thinking it would a safe choice.
Before we go towards a possible solution for all of these Wallets hacks and what I find is the best way to counter all of that uncertainty, let‘S look at the stats of this one. For that we are taking the held pf the on-chain detective ZachXBT, who has monitored the biggest losses so far.
Here we can see the five biggest victims of this hack as of the latest update. One singular person even lost 7.96M USDT, another person lost 1875 ETH ($3.5M) and many more people lost many hundreds of thousands. The total combined losses have exceeded well above $35M, with the top 5 taking up $17M losses themselves.
Moreover, ZachXBT has brought to attention that even during those tough times many scammers are targeting the victims with fake refund programs that will cost even more of your assets. Be really safe out there right now and only take news form the official Atomic Wallet account.
As to how we could find a solution to the many wallet hacks happening, from MyAlgo Wallet to now Atomic Wallet, for me this seems obvious: Just as we always told each other to not keep all our eggs in the same basked with our Crypto investments, the same applies for keeping you Crypto in wallet. Have multiple wallets and also hardware wallets to keep your Crypto safe and most importantly write down the seed phrase for all of them safely.
