<p>“<em>Damn, all the hard working money disappeared in an instant on Atomic Wallet,</em>” a user expresses indignation on Twitter. Every hacking, scam, and rug pull always has its victims. And we are still far, very far, from the end of these malicious acts.</p><div class="thumbnail post-cover-image"><img src="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/hack-atomic-wallet-1024x683.png" srcset="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/hack-atomic-wallet-1024x683.png 1024w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/hack-atomic-wallet-300x200.png 300w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/hack-atomic-wallet-768x512.png 768w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/hack-atomic-wallet.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" class="post-cover-image--img" alt="Hacker illustration and Atomic Wallet logo"></div><div class="my-4"></div>



<h2 id="h-atomic-wallet-hacked">Atomic Wallet hacked</h2>



<p>Several <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/cryptomonnaies-les-escroqueries-surpassent-les-exploits-defi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">scam acts</a> have deprived DeFi companies of over $45 million in May. As for hacks, we don’t have statistics about them, except for the fact that hackers managed to drain $3.8 billion in 2022.</p><div class="my-4"><div class="ads ">

<p>Unfortunately, these malicious acts have persisted despite alerts and the security efforts of crypto companies.</p>



<p>Just yesterday, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/atomic-wallet-exploited-users-report-loss-of-entire-portfolios" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cointelegraph</a> reported that Atomic Wallet fell victim to a hack. Here’s the company’s official tweet regarding the incident.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="525" height="283" src="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tweet-hack-atomic.png" alt="" class="wp-image-606870" srcset="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tweet-hack-atomic.png 525w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/tweet-hack-atomic-300x162.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Official information about the Atomic Wallet attack – Source: <a href="https://twitter.com/AtomicWallet/status/1664946301815910400?t=QNK93zMkdFVEC9UDZQEttw&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>We note that no precise information regarding the amount of stolen crypto has been mentioned so far.</p>



<h2 id="several-indignant-users">Several indignant users</h2>



<p>And it’s understandable because it has already experienced such a situation in the past. One victim reminded them of this below the official team’s post.</p>



<p>“<em>This happened to my BTC 6 months ago with Atomic. They simply replied back to protect your pw, seed phrase, blah blah… I told them NOT even possible! All I do is use U to exchange and then move crypto out. My response to them, I will use U no MORE then! Now I was right!</em>”</p>



<p>Another user, Tom, also posted this heartfelt response on Twitter:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="530" height="140" src="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/twitt-tom-atomic-wallet.png" alt="" class="wp-image-606867" srcset="https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/twitt-tom-atomic-wallet.png 530w, https://www.cointribune.com/app/uploads/2023/06/twitt-tom-atomic-wallet-300x79.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 530px) 100vw, 530px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Anger, disappointment… the emotions of an Atomic user – Source: <a href="https://twitter.com/AtomicWallet/status/1664946301815910400?t=QNK93zMkdFVEC9UDZQEttw&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>According to their fury, there will be a massive departure from Atomic to more secure wallets like Ledger soon.</p>



<p>Interestingly, the website <a href="https://money.com/best-crypto-wallets/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Money.com</a> included Atomic Wallet in its Top 8 crypto wallets for this month of June. Atomic was given a place alongside <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/namecheap-pirate-metamask-alerte-ses-utilisateurs-contre-des-e-mails-malveillant/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MetaMask</a>, Trust Wallet, Ledger Nano S Plus…</p><div class="my-4"><div class="ads ">

<p>However, with what has just happened, users will gladly delist it. And the Atomic Wallet team will also have to revise its slogan, “<em>Your Keys – Your Crypto! Decentralized Wallet trusted by 5M+ users!</em>”</p>
