1,590 CoinStats crypto wallets ‘affected’ in security breach

Validated Media

Cryptocurrency portfolio manager CoinStats has temporarily suspended user activity following a security breach that affected 1,590 crypto wallets.

“The attack has been mitigated, and we have temporarily shut down the application to isolate the security incident,” Coinstats wrote in a June 22 X post.

“Thanks to the immediate incident response from the CoinStats team, only 1.3% of all CoinStats Wallets were affected, totaling 1,590 wallets,” it added, while claiming that “none of the connected wallets and CEXes were impacted.”

Extent of impact from security incident still unknown

CoinStats did not disclose the extent to which the wallets were affected by the security breach but promised to p "updates as soon as they become available."

The portfolio manager states on its website that since it “asks for read-only access” to connected crypto wallets, users’ holdings remain “perfectly safe under any conditions.”

The platform is a way for users to connect all their wallets and use it as an overall crypto portfolio tracker, allowing them to view all their wallets in one place.

Coinstats published a Google document listing all currently affected crypto wallets. It was mentioned that the list “might change” as the investigation progresses but significant changes are not expected.

“If your wallet address is in this affected list, please move your funds immediately using your exported private key,” it stated.

However, members of the crypto community warned victims on the list to beware of scammers who may reach out pretending to offer assistance with the situation.

“Scammers are smart. If your addy is in this list or if you’ve used coinstats and posted about it scammers may be trying to reach out to you to “help” you. Do not trust anyone,” pseudonymous crypto commentator PPman wrote.

Rise in crypto firms facing security breaches

It comes after several crypto platforms experienced security incidents in recent times.

Crypto data aggregator CoinGecko recently confirmed a data breach suffered by its third-party email management platform GetResponse.

On June 5, CoinGecko confirmed that the data breach allowed attackers to export the contact information of over 1.9 million CoinGecko users.

On June 12, Crystal Intelligence revealed that the crypto industry has suffered 785 reported hacks and exploits during the past 13 years.

Nearly $19 billion worth of digital assets were stolen in the 13 years since June 19, 2011, when the first known crypto hack was reported.

Cointelegraph reached out to Coinstats for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

  • CLARITY Act Draft: Ban on Stablecoin Yields for Holding Only

    On March 24, according to CoinDesk, cryptocurrency industry practitioners on Monday saw the latest provisions regarding stablecoin yields in the revised version of the Senate's "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" for the first time during a closed-door review meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. The initial impression was that the relevant language was too narrow and lacked clarity. This new provision was released last Friday by Senators Angela Alsobrooks and Thom Tillis. According to a person familiar with the current draft, the new provision will prohibit earning yields solely from holding stablecoins, while restricting any practices that equate such programs with bank deposits, and imposing further limitations on other potentially permissible activities. The specific mechanism for determining activity-based stablecoin rewards remains unclear. This compromise stems from the lobbying battle between the crypto and banking industries. The banking industry insists that stablecoin rewards should not resemble interest-bearing bank deposits, arguing that such competing products could harm the banking sector and stifle lending. The final compromise allows for reward programs based on user stablecoin activities but prohibits balance-based rewards. This closed-door review aims to push the Senate Banking Committee to schedule a hearing, a significant step for the bill towards a full Senate vote. Similar versions of the "Clarity Act" have passed the House of Representatives in previous years, and another version has also passed the Senate Agriculture Committee's markup process. The bill's progress still faces other obstacles: all parties still need to reach an agreement on the DeFi regulatory framework, and Democrats are simultaneously insisting on including provisions that prohibit senior government officials from seeking personal gain from the cryptocurrency industry, a clause clearly targeting President Trump.
