anchored·5matCj…Fp7sSummary
Atomic Wallet is a non-custodial, multi-currency cryptocurrency wallet founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. In June 2023, attackers attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group (TraderTraitor) stole approximately $100 million in cryptocurrency from an estimated 5,500 user wallets in one of the largest crypto theft events of that year. Prior to the hack, an independent security firm had publicly disclosed unresolved critical vulnerabilities in the wallet's cryptography implementation as early as February 2022, and Atomic Wallet did not adequately address those findings before the breach occurred.
