MetaMask, one of the most widely used cryptocurrency wallet providers, has said that a recent security incident did not compromise its wallets or the underlying infrastructure that powers them, according to BleepingComputer.
The company's statement came after reports of an attack raised concerns among crypto holders about the safety of funds stored through the platform. MetaMask clarified that the incident did not reach or disrupt the systems users rely on to access and manage their digital assets.
Details about the nature of the attack itself remain limited, but MetaMask's reassurance is aimed at preventing panic among its large base of users who depend on the wallet for storing and transacting with cryptocurrency.
