A wallet exploit is a security breach that compromises a user’s digital wallet, leading to the unauthorized access or theft of associated digital assets. This can occur through various means, including phishing attacks, malware infections, or vulnerabilities in the wallet software itself. The consequence is typically the loss of private keys and subsequent misappropriation of funds. Such incidents underscore the critical importance of robust security practices for digital asset management.
