Community user @ChinaWhaleETH claimed that 50 ETH was stolen from his OKX wallet, which he had used for four years, without any private key leakage, raising suspicions that the theft might be related to the wallet system, drawing market attention. In response, OKX Haiteng publicly stated that on-chain tracing confirmed that the user's seed phrase was not generated by the OKX wallet, and that the user initially stored the seed phrase in a notepad on a connected computer, a high-risk operation. Furthermore, the user's assets in other OKX Wallet addresses showed no abnormalities, concluding that there was no "wallet backdoor."
SlowMist (@evilcos) also stated that this case is more likely due to a leak of user-side seed phrase rather than a problem with the OKX Wallet system. Multiple parties have called for avoiding unsubstantiated accusations and advised victims to continue cooperating with the legal process. OKX CEO Star Xu stated that his team will reward anyone who can provide conclusive evidence that OKX Wallet has a backdoor with 10 BTC.
