Alert: Wallet Generation Vulnerability Called 'Ill Bloom' Still Puts Thousands of Accounts at Risk

CoinFeed reported on July 6, according to Coinspect Security disclosure, a wallet generation vulnerability called 'Ill Bloom' is being exploited by attackers to control affected wallets and steal funds. The vulnerability has affected wallets on multiple blockchains since 2018, and affected wallets were still being generated as recently as weeks ago, not originating from a single software wallet. Coinspect stated that on May 27, about $3 million was stolen from hundreds of accounts, and in recent hours, another approximately $2 million was transferred out from exposed wallets. Currently, thousands of accounts remain at risk, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum and L2, TRON, and Solana. Coinspect has launched an affected address checking tool and called on wallet providers to integrate lightweight weak mnemonic detection functionality.
