The latest series of tweets by the on-chain data service provider, OKLink tells us that hackers have stolen around $31 million from the multi-chain wallet provider Bitkeep.

The same has been confirmed by the team that some APK package have been hijacked by hackers resulting in this massive theft.

OKLink in their series of tweets advised users to transfer their funds out of wallets immediately.

Bitkeep team asked all of their users to transfer their funds from wallets to a wallet downloaded from official sources such as Android Play Store or iOS App Store as the hack was due to the app from an unofficial release version or a compromised APK download.

Following this blockchain security and analytics firm PeakshieldPeakshield alert published the hacked funds movement on its Twitter which reveals hackers wallet holding more than $5 million in cryptocurrencies.

This is not the first time Bitkeep fell into victim for hacks. It also suffered an exploit before on 17th October 2022 losing assers worth over $1 million to hackers. Then the bug was exploited on their token swap module.
