Keplr Warns Some Social-Login Wallets Show Depleted Balances

Keplr says some wallets created with Google or Apple sign-in are showing reduced or empty balances as a white-hat recovery effort continues. The wallet urges users to move any remaining assets and stop sending funds to those accounts.

Keplr said a vulnerability in Web3Auth’s infrastructure exposed private keys for some affected accounts. Web3Auth said it was working with partners to secure vulnerable wallets that had not yet been attacked through the same path.

Balances in affected accounts may be partly reduced or fully emptied while recovery work continues. Keplr said staked or locked assets are more difficult to handle and may take longer.

Users can move liquid assets to a wallet set up with a recovery phrase or hardware wallet. Keplr said accounts created through those methods are not affected. The wallet is working with Web3Auth on a way for users to check whether their accounts were affected. Keplr urged users to follow official updates from the two companies and ignore messages or links promising asset recovery.
