Ordswap, a prominent marketplace for Bitcoin Ordinals, has recently experienced a significant security breach that has caused it to lose control of its website. This has posed potential risks for users, as a phishing link on the compromised website has attempted to trick them into revealing their private keys.
In response to the security breach, Ordswap has introduced an online tool designed to assist MetaMask users in recovering their private keys. This tool is intended to help affected users securely migrate their assets to other service providers.
Ordswap has blamed Netlify, a website development and hosting company, for the incident. While the exact nature of the breach and its connection to Netlify is still under investigation, it highlights the vulnerabilities associated with relying on third-party service providers.
Users have reported encountering a button on the compromised website that attempted to drain their crypto wallets. This wallet-draining scam serves as a reminder of the risks associated with interacting with cryptocurrency platforms.
Despite the security breach, an Ordswap team member has claimed that user’s private keys and assets remain unaffected. However, users have been advised to exercise caution and vigilance, as phishing attempts and scams continue to target crypto enthusiasts. The Ordswap team is currently working to regain control of its website and restore user confidence.
