An attack targeting the BlackWallet electronic wallet ends with the disappearance of more than 670,000 Stellar units worth $ 400,197 (at the same time).

The hacker or hackers managed to penetrate the hosting server for the stacker storage portfolio, which ranks eighth in CoinMarketCap by volume. But the attack caused a major imbalance in the currency market, which cost its price drop from $ 0.6 to $ 0.4 immediately after the theft was completed.

The BlackWallet team was able to tell all users via Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, and other forums that the site has been hacked. But users continued to access their accounts, to see the disappearance of their assets of more than 20 XLM.

This is what the team warned:

As noted, in what was put forward by the site team at their expense in Reddit. The hacker converts the stolen money from his wallet "GBH4TZYZ4IRCPO44CBOLFUHULU2WGALXTAVESQA6432MBJMABBB4GIYI" to his account at Bittrex. After that no one was able to know the fate of the stolen coin, because he probably switched the styler in another encrypted currency to avoid the risk of being tracked by someone. Especially that the founder of the portfolio is investigating with his own hosting company and Bittrex, trying to find a solution, he said, and hoping to cooperate with the Exchange, which was the conversion of Stellar to another currency. Bittrex has not yet made any statement or declaration of action, despite countless complaints by users and owners of (former owners) of the currency, as well as repeated requests to close the account that converts the XLM using the following memo- XLM 27f9a3e4d954449da04- .

Classic Ether Wallet and Etherparty ICO website also suffered similar losses after being hacked.

The site blackwallet.co is absent from work so far (at the date of writing the article), indicating that the problem with the host server has not yet been resolved.
