The scope of the theft was originally reported by Lookonchain’s blockchain analysis experts.

The persistent difficulties in safeguarding digital assets are brought to light by this occurrence. In order to protect against such weaknesses in the crypto environment, it emphasizes the necessity of ongoing awareness and proactive steps.

Several well-known decentralized applications (DApps), such as Phantom, SushiSwap, and Zapper, had immediate effects from the intrusion. As a result, MetaMask released a fix to lessen the danger to its users. By being proactive, they made sure that users who had the most recent software version were safe.

Ledger Issues Statement on the Hack

Ledger reported the removal of the malicious file and its replacement with a secure version about three hours after the occurrence.

Since then, the vulnerable library has been disabled by several protocols. Furthermore, Tether acted decisively by blocking the exploiter’s IP address. Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether, has taken a step that shows the cryptocurrency industry is committed to protecting users from fraud and maintaining security.
