At the time of writing this article, speculation seems to be that the attack could be a supply chain hack. This would suggest that Atomic’s source code was tampered with on the server side with users unwittingly updating to or downloading the maliciously affected version.
While the exact details and fallout are still unclear, some users have reported losses “exceeding six figures”. This comes at a challenging time for Atomic Wallet, as they’re already under the microscope for liquidity issues with their native AWC token, and the listing of $BEN.
