Ethereum (ETH) has been on a strong rally over the last week, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) to start what many know as the altseason. However, crypto is now reeling from the impact of a hack that hit one of its major wallet providers, MetaMask.
Although MetaMask has denied claims of the hack being from their end, the ripple effect has sent Ethereum (ETH) plunging by 7%. The bearish sentiment doesn’t seem to have affected Sparklo, and experts are coming up with bullish predictions for the newcomer.
The popular decentralized, non-custodial Ethereum-based wallet, MetaMask has been roped in a ‘massive’ hack. According to MetaMask, its wallet wasn’t the cause of the “massive wallet draining operation” that has claimed over 5,000 Ethereum (ETH) or $10.5 million.
MetaMask has confirmed the exploit, stating that the 5,000 ETH was stolen “from various addresses across 11 blockchains.” Wallet Guard co-founder Ohm Shah believes that the hack could be the result of a private key or seed phrase leak.
While MetaMask denies that it was the cause of the exploit, it has announced that its security team is now working with other security outfits in the Web3 wallet ecosystem to uncover the source of the exploit that has led to the theft of over $10.5 million.
The negative sentiment surrounding the hack has rubbed off on Ethereum (ETH), putting a stop to its week-long strong rally. Over the last 24 hours, the price of Ethereum (ETH) has plunged by 7% as fears spread over the possible exploit of one of its biggest wallet providers.
