The multi-chain wallet for BitKeep has been breached previously. The BitKeep Swap multi-chain wallet was compromised on October 18. The hacker's attack was stopped despite the development team's rapid action and efforts to prevent it. However, the attack that targeted BNB Chain resulted in damage of around $1 million.
The platform's services are then stopped to make sure there aren't any additional issues. Crypto security firms that monitor data claim that BitKeep Swap attackers sent 4,300 BNB (or roughly $1.18 million) in stolen money in the form of 100 BNB each to Tornado Cash.
The user compensation plan was finished by the end of October, and BitKeep will fully reimburse all impacted users.
