The developers of Atomic Wallet are investigating reports of large-scale theft of cryptocurrency from users' wallets, with over $35 million in crypto reportedly stolen.
Atomic Wallet is a mobile and desktop crypto wallet allowing users to store various cryptocurrencies.
On June 3rd, Atomic Wallet tweeted that they had received reports of compromised wallets and had begun investigating the issue.
Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT has been collecting transactions of funds stolen from Atomic Wallet victims and says that over $35 million in crypto has been stolen due to this compromise.
According to crypto security research Tay, the earliest transaction for stolen Atomic Wallet assets was on Friday, June 2nd, at 21:45 UTC. Atomic Wallet users began reporting Saturday morning on Twitter and the developer's Telegram channel that cryptocurrency was stolen from their Atomic Wallet wallets.
