[OKX Star Clarifies: Wuhan Anshun Technology Attack Incident Is Not a Security Vulnerability of the OKX Web3 Wallet]
BlockBeats News, March 15, OKX founder and CEO Star responded to the 'hacking incident carried out by the Wuhan Anshun Technology team exploiting plugin vulnerabilities,' stating, 'The OKX Wallet security team has completed its investigation, and the original description of this as an "OKX Wallet vulnerability" is inaccurate. Two points need to be clarified:
· This incident is not a security vulnerability of the OKX Web3 Wallet. The attack method involved hackers controlling user devices through Trojan software, then modifying webpage JS code to implant hooks or using methods such as monitoring keyboard inputs to steal locally stored encrypted files and passwords.
· The OKX Web3 Wallet is a 100% self-custodial wallet. Private keys and passwords are stored only on the user's own device, and OKX cannot access or control user assets. However, if a user's device itself has been compromised by hackers, no wallet—including MetaMask—can guarantee security. This is akin to a thief already being able to operate your computer and see all your keyboard inputs.
Users are advised to avoid installing software or plugins from unknown sources, regularly check device security, and properly safeguard mnemonic phrases and private keys.'
It is reported that the Wuhan Anshun Technology team controlled a large number of user terminals, stole mnemonic phrases, and remotely transferred digital assets, with the amount involved reaching $7 million.
