1NCH users: stay cautious!Multiple X posts have confirmed 1inch and TEN Finance as the victims of the latest cryptocurrency hack.
Nonetheless, the number might increase as the attack targeted Lottie Player’s top versions – 2.0.5 and beyond.
Reports suggest the perpetrators used these versions to put malicious code into websites’ front-end JavaScript Object Notation files.
With the code, breached websites can conduct unauthorized transactions, making user data and assets vulnerable.
The hackers compromised Lottie Player’s servers and used a harmful npm package to dispense the modified code.
While 1inch guaranteed funds and data safety, security firms have urged users to refrain from connecting their wallets or using the affected networks until complete resolutions of the security issues.
Meanwhile, the latest attack comes as 1inch aims to boost cryptocurrency adoption with its latest collaboration with martial artist Bruce Lee.
