OKX founder and CEO Star responded to the "hacker attack incident involving a plugin vulnerability by the Wuhan Anshun Technology team" by stating, "The OKX Wallet security team has completed its investigation, and describing the original text as 'OKX wallet vulnerability' is inaccurate. Two points need clarification:This incident is not a security vulnerability of the OKX Web3 wallet. The attack method involved hackers controlling user devices through Trojan software, then stealing locally stored encrypted files and passwords by tampering with webpage JS code to implant hooks or by monitoring keyboard inputs.The OKX Web3 wallet is a 100% self-custody wallet. Private keys and passwords exist only on the user's own device, and OKX cannot access or control user assets. However, if the user's device has already been compromised by hackers, then no wallet—including MetaMask—can guarantee security. It's like a thief has already been 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 protect their mnemonic phrases and private keys."It is reported that the Wuhan Anshun Technology team controlled a large number of user terminals to steal mnemonic phrases and remotely transfer digital assets, with the amount involved reaching 7 million dollars.
