BlockSec: The root cause of the attack on Wintermute was a private key leak

Sept 20,2022
KingData News: In response to the attack on the Wintermute wallet, BlockSec tweeted that the root cause of the attack on Wintermute was a private key compromise. The attacker used the leaked private key to execute a privileged function and specify the swap contract as the attacker-controlled one (0x0248f752802b2cfb4373cc0c3bc3964429385c26). The assets will be transferred to this contract.
