ChainCatcher news, BitKeep CEO issued an open letter stating that BitKeep was hacked on December 26. The root cause of the incident has been identified, and the stolen address has been traced, with some of the stolen funds frozen. Efforts are still ongoing to recover user losses.

In this malicious attack, hackers exploited and hijacked the BitKeep App 7.2.9 APK on the BitKeep website. By injecting malicious code, the modified APK led to the leakage of user private keys, allowing hackers to transfer funds.

The BitKeep CEO stated that the BitKeep official application installed through various channels has no security issues. However, if the 7.2.9 APK was downloaded from the BitKeep website or if users have already updated to this version, they need to download the new application as soon as possible, generate a new wallet address, and transfer funds, as private keys may have been leaked.
