OKX Star clarifies misunderstandings about wallet vulnerabilities: The risk stems from compromised user devices; users should avoid installing software or plugins from unknown sources.

CoinFeed reported on March 15th that, regarding the hacking incident involving the Wuhan Anjun Technology team exploiting a vulnerability in the OKX wallet plugin, OKX CEO Star stated on the X platform that the wallet security team has completed its investigation and that describing it as an "OKX wallet vulnerability" is inaccurate. Two points need clarification: 1. This incident is not a security vulnerability in the OKX Web3 wallet. The attack method involved hackers using Trojan software to control the user's device and then stealing locally stored encrypted files and passwords by modifying the webpage's JavaScript code to implant hooks or by monitoring keystrokes. 2. The OKX Web3 wallet is a 100% self-custodied wallet. Private keys and passwords exist only on the user's own device; OKX cannot access or control user assets.
