Polkadot Urges Fearless Wallet Users to Move Funds Under New Keys

Polkadot called on Fearless Wallet users to move funds into wallets secured by newly generated private keys after a leak created an active exposure risk for assets tied to the wallet.

The alert concerns an affected version of Fearless Wallet’s browser extension. Chrome continued to display that release, with 6,000 users shown on its listing. The Polkadot Foundation asked holders to generate fresh keys and transfer funds to wallets using them.

The response pairs key replacement with a move of assets out of wallets tied to the exposure. The warning centers on private keys linked to Fearless Wallet, and its concrete instruction is to place funds in a wallet using new keys. Chrome’s figure describes users shown for the affected extension release, which remained listed as the foundation made its call. Holders facing the exposure are directed to create fresh keys and transfer their funds. The notice concerns the extension’s affected version, and the action it names is a transfer under new credentials.
