MetaMask discloses ongoing infrastructure security incident
Cryptocurrency wallet provider MetaMask has disclosed a security incident affecting part of its infrastructure. The company says the incident is still ongoing but that there is "no immediate threat to MetaMask wallets."
MetaMask made the announcement on Thursday. It said it is handling the incident internally, with support from external partners and security advisors. It has not said which systems were involved or what the attackers may have reached.
MetaMask is a non-custodial crypto wallet developed by Consensys, a blockchain software company. Non-custodial means that users hold their own keys, not the provider. The wallet lets people store and manage assets on Ethereum and on other blockchains compatible with it.
