CoinStats, a popular cryptocurrency portfolio tracking app, has warned users that wallets created on the CoinStats platform may be vulnerable following a security incident that also saw a scam notification go out to users’ mobile devices.
CoinStats, a popular app that helps users create a wallet and track their crypto portfolios across different chains, has warned users who used the app to create a wallet to migrate their funds following a “security incident” affecting the platform.
The platform also noted on Saturday that an iOS notification purporting to inform some users that they won a giveaway was actually a scam, seemingly due to the same security incident. Some Android users also reported receiving the notification in a thread discussing the incident on Reddit.
“We are currently experiencing a security incident affecting wallets created directly within CoinStats; this does not impact externally connected wallets,” the platform announced on X, before urging users, “If you have your private key exported, move your funds ASAP.”
CoinStats seems to have taken their platform offline while investigating the security incident; its homepage leads to a placeholder noting the security incident and promising to release a detailed post-mortem “asap.”
