Gate News: On March 15, regarding the hacking incident involving Wuhan Ansun Technology team’s use of a certain CEX wallet plugin, the exchange’s CEO Star clarified on the X platform that the wallet security team has completed the investigation. The incident was not due to a security vulnerability in a certain CEX Web3 wallet. Star stated two clarifications: First, the attack method involved hackers controlling users’ devices through Trojan malware, then injecting hooks by tampering with webpage JavaScript code or listening to keyboard inputs to steal locally stored encrypted files and passwords. Second, the certain CEX Web3 wallet is a 100% self-custody wallet, with private keys and passwords stored only on the user’s device. The exchange cannot access or control user assets. However, if the user’s device has already been compromised by hackers, no wallet (including MetaMask) can guarantee security. Star advises users to avoid installing unknown software or plugins, regularly check device security, and properly protect their seed phrases and private keys.
