Just did a quick look around, has there been ANY update anywhere on this?
None that i have heard or seen of, i think the bigger issue here is that Atomic Wallet doesn't know what caused the mass attack of their customers, so i don't think we are looking forward to any update. It is closed source, they don't know what caused the hack, then it can happen again!
Just seems odd that all of a sudden, no more discussion. Although, the other side of it is how much more then 'they suck, don't use them' can be said.
They are closed source, so they were not really "safe" even before the hack, and no matter how many times we can say 'don't use them', so many people are still using Atomic Wallet. If after all the recent events regarding the collapse of centralized exchanges and earning platforms, people still use them to store their funds and to earn APY, surely people are still going to use Atomic Wallet to hold their funds after this hack.
that

We don't know that THEY don't know what happened. All we know is that WE don't know since they have not told us.

But the lack up updates, even to the extent of not posting a 'we don't know what went wrong still looking' is just a total lack of customer service / caring.



They care more about promoting their service than even customer safety, and I wouldn't be surprised if the recent hack was caused by a former employee or an internal attack. I tried to search for words such as atomic wallet, atomic wallet review using some browsers and different IP addresses and I did not find any details about this hack on the first page. even google keywords like atomic wallet hack will get link like Atomic Wallet Claims 'Less Than 0.1%' of Users Affected by $100M Hack

Their reputation is so shot at this point it probably does not matter for people here who pay attention, but since they are still out there someone else is still going to loose their funds Sad

Our role should be to showing how bad this wallet is as a first result in search engines and convincing ChangeNOW's third-party services to stop supporting them (although ChangeNOW has a long history of suspicious activity)
