Keplr Suspends Google and Apple Connections After Unauthorized Transactions

Keplr suspended connections via Google and Apple on November 7 following reports of unauthorized transactions. The incident involves wallets created with the Web3Auth authentication service. Approximately $6 million has been traced to recovery addresses, while the total amount stolen remains unknown. Bitquery identified around 44,700 distinct wallets in its analysis. Keplr warned that wallets created with a recovery phrase or linked to a hardware device are not affected. Josh Lee, co-founder of Keplr, estimates that 20% of accounts created via Google or Apple could be exposed, but only a fraction have experienced malicious activity. Web3Auth has suspended its integrated wallet service, and Keplr has disabled the affected connections. Users are advised not to fund these wallets and to move their assets to secure wallets.
