  • BitKeep Wallet has been hijacked recently.

With various malicious codes installed, OKLink and its KYT Platform have added the address to the blacklist, guaranteeing the customers that it will provide better security. The platform says that the hackers were mixing coins via SideShift and FicxedFloat and have transferred 652 BNB and 70,000 DAI to various addresses. 

The BitKeep, a non-custodial wallet, is suspected of having been hijacked in a large area, and the BitKeep Security Fund is expected to make the total compensation. The currently suspected theft is worth $8 million. 

The official team suggests that users transfer their funds to official sources like Google Play and App Store. The team also asks the users to create a new address for their wallet, as hackers might compromise their last addresses. The hacker is expected to have transferred more than $5 million in digital assets.
