CoinStats Hit by North Korean Hackers

CoinStats, a widely-used cryptocurrency portfolio management app with a user base of 1,500,000, recently fell victim to a significant security breach impacting 1,590 hosted wallets. The attack, allegedly carried out by North Korean threat actors, has raised concerns about the vulnerability of digital assets stored on the platform.

CoinStats provides comprehensive features for tracking investments, real-time market data, news aggregation, and customized alerts. While users who linked their external crypto wallets for portfolio management purposes were unaffected by the breach, those who relied on CoinStats’ hosted wallets are potentially at risk of losing funds.

In response to the breach, CoinStats has taken its website and app offline as it works to contain the incident and assess the full extent of the compromise. The company has advised affected users to verify their wallet addresses against a provided list and promptly transfer any remaining funds to external wallets as a precautionary measure.

CoinStats’ CEO has pointed to evidence suggesting involvement by the North Korean Lazarus hacking group, notorious for high-profile cyber heists targeting cryptocurrency platforms worldwide. The group, believed to be state-sponsored, has a track record of sophisticated attacks aimed at stealing digital assets worth billions of dollars.

In light of the breach, scam attempts have surfaced, with malicious actors exploiting the situation to promote fake refund programs through misleading social media posts. Users are cautioned against engaging with these fraudulent schemes, emphasizing the importance of vigilance and verifying information from official sources only.

As the investigation continues, CoinStats remains committed to restoring services securely and safeguarding user assets against future threats in the volatile cryptocurrency landscape.
