CoinStats says North Korean hackers breached 1,590 crypto wallets

CoinStats suffered a massive security breach that compromised 1,590 cryptocurrency wallets, with the attack suspected to have been carried out by North Korean threat actors.

CoinStats is a comprehensive cryptocurrency portfolio management app with 1,500,000 users. It is used for investment tracking, real-time data, news aggregation, and custom alerts. It also allows users to create CoinStats wallets, which are hosted by the platform.

For users who want to use the portfolio management features, the platform requires read-only access to connected external crypto wallets and were not affected by the breach.

However, those users who hosted their wallets on CoinStats were potentially impacted by the hack.

In an announcement on X yesterday, CoinStats told users they suffered a cyberattack that affected 1,590, or 1.3%, of all hosted wallets on the platform.

The company shared a list of impacted wallets on this spreadsheet, but some users reported that funds were stolen from wallets that were not on this list. Therefore, the actual scope of the incident might be more significant than what CoinStats has verified.
