ME News reports that on November 14 (UTC+8), Web3Auth released an update regarding a security incident. On November 7, a security issue occurred in its infrastructure, affecting certain embedded wallets created via Google or Apple login—including wallets used by third-party applications such as Torus Wallet and Keplr—resulting in unauthorized access to some accounts. Starting November 8, Web3Auth initiated a white-hat asset recovery operation, transferring at-risk assets to secure recovery wallets and publishing multi-chain verified addresses. Existing user login functionality has been gradually restored, but users must upgrade to SDK v10 or v11. New user registration is expected to resume on the migrated Legacy network before November 23.
