Atomic Wallet, a centralized storage and wallet service, experienced a crypto theft of nearly $35 million worth of various tokens over the weekend. Tokens stolen included Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Tether (USDT), Dogecoin (DOGE), Litecoin (LTC), BNB Coin (BNB) and Polygon (MATIC). Tron-based USDT seemed to be the largest stolen stash, according to blockchain sleuth @ZachXBT. In a Monday tweet, Atomic Wallet said the impacted users represented less than 1% of our monthly active users, with the last drained transaction occurring on Saturday.
Victims have been asked to submit information on a Google Docs form that Atomic Wallet is using to conduct its investigations. Several users report that their crypto was stolen after a recent software update, while others say they were impacted despite not updating to the latest version, messages from Atomic Wallet’s official Telegram channel viewed by journalists show.
Atomic Wallet is currently investigating and analyzing the attack, but has not released specifics of the attacks as of Monday morning.
