TREE NEWS reports: Slow Mist founder Cosinus reported a group theft affecting over 100 addresses and dozens of users, with hackers stealing about $200,000 due to private key leaks. The common factor is the use of the iToken wallet, which historically collected private keys/mnemonic phrases, and some involved criminals were previously arrested.
Slow Mist: Group Theft Hits iToken Wallet Users
AI take
The scale here is modest, but the pattern is the story: a single wallet's historical handling of private keys becomes a shared vulnerability across many unrelated users. This shifts the risk conversation from individual phishing to systemic supply-chain exposure in wallet infrastructure. The prior arrests suggest law enforcement has some thread, yet the ongoing thefts imply the compromise vector is not fully closed. What matters next is whether the wallet provider issues a formal disclosure or migration notice, and whether other wallets with similar key-collection histories face comparable scrutiny.
