The CEO of BitKeep released an open letter: The root cause of the accident has been identified, part of the stolen funds have been frozen, and we hope users can transfer the funds as soon as possible

BlockBeats news: On December 28, Kevin, CEO of BitKeep, published an open letter saying that BitKeep was hacked on December 26. The source of the incident has been identified and attempts have been made to trace the address of the theft, and some of the stolen funds have been frozen. It is still actively trying to recover user losses. In this malicious attack, hackers used and hijacked the BitKeep App 7.2.9APK on the BitKeep website. Through malicious implantation of code, the modified APK causes the user's private key to be compromised, allowing the hacker to transfer funds. According to BitKeep CEO, there are no security issues with the official BitKeep app installed through various channels. However, if you download 7.2.9APK through the BitKeep website or have updated to this version and need to download the new app, generate a new wallet address, and transfer funds as soon as possible, the private key may be compromised.
