This morning, the BitKeep Web3 Multi-chain Wallet was under investigation for a security flaw that may have exposed the wallets of BitKeep users, as was updated in a previous Coin Aquarium News post. In its official Telegram group, some users have said that their money was taken.
The BitKeep team has confirmed that they have observed this and are looking into the issue right away. According to the site, the BitKeep Security Fund would provide complete compensation if the platform causes asset loss.
The multi-chain wallet for BitKeep has been breached previously. The BitKeep Swap multi-chain wallet was breached on October 18.
