CoinStats Halts Operations Post Security Breach Impacting 1,590 Wallets Market News
  • The assault had been mitigated and the platform had been temporarily disabled.
  • All cryptocurrency wallets that are now impacted are listed in a Google document provided.

The security breach that hit 1,590 cryptocurrency wallets has caused cryptocurrency portfolio manager CoinStats to temporarily halt user activity. In a post on June 22, X, CoinStats said that the assault had been mitigated and that the platform had been temporarily disabled to isolate the security problem.

It went on to say that none of the linked wallets or CEXes were compromised. And that just 1.3% of all CoinStats Wallets—a total of 1,590 wallets—were affected. All because the CoinStats team responded quickly to the problem.

Impacted Addresses Listed

Moreover, CoinStats pledged to publish updates as they were accessible. But they did not specify the extent to which the wallets were impacted by the security incident. According to the portfolio manager’s website, customers’ assets are always secure since it requests read-only access to linked cryptocurrency wallets.

Users may examine all of their cryptocurrency wallets in one convenient location on the platform, which doubles as a crypto portfolio tracker. All cryptocurrency wallets that are now impacted are listed in a Google document provided by Coinstats. Although substantial modifications are not anticipated, it was noted that the list “might change” as the inquiry advances.

The message emphasized the urgency of transferring funds using the exported private key in the event that the user’s wallet address appears on the impacted list. Nevertheless, others from the crypto community cautioned anyone on the list to exercise caution when fraudsters contact them posing as helpers. This follows a spate of security breaches on several cryptocurrency platforms.
