WLFI Freezes Wallets, Recovers $22M After Phishing Attack
World Liberty Financial (WLFI) moved swiftly to contain a security breach stemming from phishing attacks and exposed seed phrases prior to its platform launch. The incident affected a limited number of user wallets, prompting WLFI to freeze compromised accounts and initiate a KYC re-verification protocol.
The platform engineered new smart contract logic to safely migrate funds to fresh wallets, emphasizing the breach originated from third-party vulnerabilities—not flaws in its infrastructure. Funds will be reallocated exclusively to users who complete verification.
