According to the BitKeep CEO, amid the company's recent developments, some users' private keys are still vulnerable.
BitKeep CEO Kevin Como made the comment to Chinese blockchain media Odaily.com. He claimed that users' private keys were still at risk due to the security breach, costing the company between $8 and more than $31 million, according to various estimates.
Como said the hacking incident was "terrible." According to him, hackers stole and exchanged BitKeep APK 7.2.9 (Android Package Kit) installation package. As a result, some users loaded malware-infected APKs, exposing their private keys. This was confirmed on the official Twitter of the wallet.
Como said the BitKeep team had contacted blockchain security firms such as SlowMist to find the stolen funds. He asserted that they had collected data on consumer assets, prepared an exhaustive hacking technique and timeline, and collected data on the Android 7.2.9 APK virus.
Blockchain executives advised those who downloaded the BitKeep 7.2.9 APK malware to immediately move their valuables. According to reports, BitKeep is a non-custodial decentralized multi-chain wallet with more than 6 million users. On December 26, it was hacked. BitKeep revealed in its official Telegram account that some of the stolen assets transferred by hackers to other toll booths have been locked. Wallets 0x40c00 and 0X10B2a are two addresses controlled by the attacker, containing 3.5M and 250k DAI respectively.
