SecondFi has released an update on the latest theft incident: "Isolation Mode" will be launched this week, and a secure wallet export function is planned for release next week.
PANews reported on July 8th that SecondFi, the Cardano wallet service provider, released an update on the latest theft incident, stating that an "isolation mode" will be launched this week, allowing users to check if their wallet address is involved in the incident and submit a support ticket. Next week, they plan to launch a secure wallet export function, providing a safer wallet migration path for users of different skill levels. SecondFi reiterated that it will provide potential asset recovery solutions for wallets confirmed to be affected through its process, expected to be through zero-knowledge proof-based recovery tools with defined eligibility and terms. The official statement also emphasized that they will not request private keys or seed phrase, and users should only operate through the official website support and designated checking tools.
EMURGO announced that SecondFi, the Cardano wallet that was hacked, will permanently cease operations.
ChainCatcher reports that Cardano's founding entity, EMURGO, stated on Monday that SecondFi, the wallet service that suffered a hack, will not resume normal operations even after a security audit is completed. All users are required to migrate their assets through the official recovery process. SecondFi is a rebranded version of the Yoroi wallet and is described by EMURGO as Cardano's largest wallet provider. According to EMURGO's incident report on June 25th, the service suffered four separate wallet thefts on June 22nd, with 374 addresses compromised and approximately 16 million ADA (worth about $2.4 million at the time) stolen. The team also took emergency measures to recover approximately 129 million ADA. EMURGO stated that compromised wallets should be considered permanently exposed at the address and private key levels, and restoring the damaged seed phrase to other wallets cannot eliminate the risk. EMURGO plans to launch an isolated wallet state inspection tool this week, followed by a secure export tool and an offline migration workshop in Tokyo. They are also building a dedicated recovery fund for the on-chain recovery system, and will return assets to affected users after the external audit is completed.
