ConsenSys founder says MetaMask wallets, private keys safe after cyberattack

  • Joseph Lubin reassured MetaMask users that wallets and private keys were unaffected.
  • September 30 marked MetaMask’s disclosure of an infrastructure security incident.
  • MetaMask users retain custody and control of their own keys, Lubin said.

ConsenSys founder Joseph Lubin said there is no indication that the company’s recent cyberattack affected any part of MetaMask’s wallet system. He confirmed that user wallets, private keys and Secret Recovery Phrases remain safe. The reassurance followed MetaMask’s September 30 disclosure that part of its infrastructure had been affected by a security incident. Lubin said users retain custody and control of their own keys through self-custody (users directly control their crypto keys).
