Why did so many ppl trust Atomic Wallet when it's closed source? Atomic wallet's noncustodial decentralised so users are responsible for their cryptocurrencies. 1% users were hacked so they're paying the price for trust.
Blockchain tracker ZachXBT said the biggest loser was $7.95M. The top 5 losers were $17M combined. Full hack stolen was $35M from 1% Atomic Wallet users.
I've tried finding what happened but it isn't told any where. Atomic wallet aren't updating
their blog. They If it's an inside job they'll leave clues behind. If they're professional hackers it won't be easy finding the criminals until they move funds between addresses.
Did they discover how their wallets were hacked?
It seems to be unclear, but in the thread on the subject they say this:
The hacked activities were made by their team who is behind on this major issue? (because I'm thinking this way)
We can only speculate, but from what i have read about the hack, many people are suspecting this to be what happened, it was probably an inside job, maybe someone in their team added something malicious to their code, but until Atomic Wallet tells us what happened, we can only speculate, that's why closed source wallets aren't good.
The point is to avoid closed source wallets like the plague.
