Debot wallet suspected of being stolen; SlowMist reports hackers have currently profited $255,000.
Researcher 0xAA issued a warning in the evening, stating that many on-chain users' wallets had been stolen, suspected to be due to a compromised trading bot. This is another wallet security issue following the recent security vulnerability in Binance's Trust Wallet. The community is unanimously pointing the finger at the well-known trading bot Debot. Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, stated that the private keys of Debot's risk-marked addresses were previously leaked, and the hackers have currently profited $255,000.
Debot was hacked, suspected to be a follow-up to the intrusion into a Japanese data center earlier this month.
0xAA later indicated that this incident was likely a follow-up to the intrusion into Debot's Japanese data center. Apparently, about half an hour earlier (December 10th), Debot detected an intrusion into its Japanese data center, at which time the company transferred users hosted in the Japanese data center to a Singapore data center for quarantine.
However, Debot initially said everything was normal, but later said it would compensate users who had been affected.
The official instructions are as follows: Please follow the official announcement , go to the asset management page, click the transfer page, and transfer the balance to the official secure wallet.
