⚠️ALERT: Crypto wallets created with Google or Apple logins are being hit by unauthorized transactions. Keplr, the main wallet of the Cosmos ecosystem, paused both login options after users reported the thefts. The incident originated at Web3Auth, the login service owned by MetaMask's parent Consensys, which says it has gone into "maintenance mode due to a security incident." Web3Auth claimed nearly 50 MILLION users across more than 8,200 apps when Consensys bought it last year, per The Block. Keplr's co-founder estimates about 20% of its Google and Apple login accounts are affected, but says only "a fraction" of those has been exploited and the rest "may be recoverable." Wallets created with a recovery phrase or hardware wallet are NOT affected, and Web3Auth says there is no evidence MetaMask users are impacted.
