Blink suspends service: an attacker accessed some custodial accounts and withdrew their funds

Blink wallet has reported a security incident. An attacker gained access to a limited number of custodial accounts and withdrew funds from them. According to Blink, most funds are safe and non-custodial wallets are unaffected. Service has been suspended during the investigation. The cause and scale have not yet been disclosed.

Actions to take

If you hold funds in a custodial Blink account, do not send new payments there until the service resumes and explains the cause. Follow updates only through official Blink channels; the original message is linked in the post. Do not respond to emails and messages about “compensation,” “restoring access” or “verification,” and do not enter your seed for anyone. Phishing usually appears around incidents like this. According to the service, owners of non-custodial Blink wallets need take no action.
