BitKeep, a multi-chain crypto wallet, reported a hacking incident today that resulted in users losing millions of dollars in various cryptocurrencies. According to the project’s team, preliminary investigations indicate that some APK package downloads were hijacked and installed with malicious code injected by hackers. “If your funds are stolen, the application you download or update may be an unofficial release version that has been hijacked,” the BitKeep team wrote in its official Telegram group. PeckShield, a security firm, initially estimated the total amount of stolen funds to be around $8 million in various digital assets.
