Ill Bloom Wallet Generation Vulnerability Still Puts Thousands of Accounts at Risk; Approximately $5 Million Stolen or Transferred Recently

Odaily reported that Coinspect Security disclosed a wallet generation vulnerability named "Ill Bloom" is being exploited by attackers, allowing them to take control of affected wallets and steal funds. This vulnerability has impacted wallets on multiple blockchains since 2018, with affected wallets still being generated as recently as a few weeks ago, and not originating from a single software wallet.

On May 27, hundreds of accounts were compromised, with approximately $3 million stolen. In the last few hours, another $2 million has been transferred out of exposed wallets. Currently, thousands of accounts remain at risk, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, L2 networks, Tron, and Solana. Coinspect Security has launched a tool to check affected addresses and urges wallet providers to integrate lightweight weak mnemonic phrase detection functionality.
