MetaMask Addresses Security Incident Leading to Ethereum Validator Exits
MetaMask is addressing a security incident that has led to the proactive exit of affected Ethereum validators in coordination with partners. The measures include exiting validators within the Lido protocol, potentially incurring rewards loss and downtime penalties.
MetaMask on Thursday said it's responding to what it described as an "ongoing security incident" impacting part of its infrastructure.
"We are actively addressing and remediating the issue internally, in coordination with external partners and security advisors," the software cryptocurrency wallet maker said. "At this time, we have identified no immediate threat to MetaMask wallets."
