Polkadot Wallet Breach Exposes Unauthorized Transfers
Eight users of the Polkadot Fearless Wallet reported unauthorized transfers involving 17,286 DOT. The Polkadot Community Foundation warned affected users to create new keys in another wallet and move their funds immediately, as the third-party extension had been leaking users' private keys since February 2025. The breach highlights a potential weakness in the network's recently shortened staking withdrawal period.
