On-chain news emerged on October 17 as SecuX App users continued to experience outages following a blockchain upgrade and emergency maintenance. The company claimed services were restored on October 16, but Android users reported phishing alerts requesting recovery phrases. Ripple’s David Schwartz confirmed the issue, with multiple users still encountering access problems as of October 17.

According to ME News, on October 17 (UTC+8), monitoring by SecuX’s official account and Ripple CTO David "JoelKatz" Schwartz revealed that hardware wallet provider SecuX announced on October 16 a “major system upgrade and emergency maintenance” for its app, and at 15:34 that day stated services had “resumed normal operation.” Later that evening, David "JoelKatz" Schwartz disclosed that the SecuX Android app pushed him a fraudulent notification which, when clicked, redirected to a phishing page designed to trick users into entering their 12- or 24-word recovery phrases. SecuX did not specify the cause of the incident, reiterating that it would never request recovery phrases. As of October 17, multiple users reported continued inability to access their wallets, with services still unavailable. (Source: ODAILY)
