Web3Auth's login service remains down following a security flaw that enabled theft from some Keplr wallets created with Google or Apple accounts, The Hacker News reported. Web3Auth paused its embedded wallet service and said the issue also affects services used by other companies, naming only Keplr. Web3Auth says it used the attacker's route to move other vulnerable wallets' funds into recovery wallets. Bitquery counted at least $6.01 million transferred from more than 44,000 wallets and corrected its initial characterization of those transfers as theft. Keplr says recovery-phrase and hardware wallets are unaffected. Web3Auth says rescued funds are safe but has not specified how or when users will receive them.
