Users employing the latest version, v2.121.0, can resume trading as they will be automatically updated with the MetaMask Portfolio fix. MetaMask had previously singled out Ledger users, highlighting an attack on the Ledger Connect Kit.
To enhance security, MetaMask users are urged to activate the Blockaid feature in the extension before engaging in any transactions within the MetaMask Portfolio.
Meanwhile, crypto hardware wallet provider Ledger confirmed a compromise in its Connect Kit library. This breach had a cascading effect on several decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, such as SushiSwap and Revoke Cash, both advising their users to abstain from interacting with their frontends until further notice.
The gravity of the situation was underscored by blockchain analysis platform Lookonchain, which reported the theft of at least 4,334 Ether, equivalent to nearly $484,000, by the hacker responsible for the attack on Ledger’s connector library.
Although Ledger has yet to officially confirm these figures, the potential impact of this security breach could extend into the hundreds of thousands, according to the company.
