Over the past few days, the Atomic Wallet team faced huge criticism. Many people pledged not to use Atomic Wallet, to remain away from such garbage service.
In the hack attack, the hacker grabbed nearly $100 million worth of crypto assets and so far the identity of the hacker is hidden & it seems that people will not be able to trace the main culprit, as the hacker laundered the funds through popular Ethereum crypto mixing platform Tornado Cash.
