Around 2,000 crypto private keys were compromised as a result of a security vulnerability at Edge Wallet.

According to Edge, not all of the wallets' contents were taken, and just a total of "low five digits in USD" had been located.

The Edge Wallet team has patched the flaw and released a new application to protect private keys.

A security breach occurred on Edge, a multi-currency mobile crypto wallet, where the attacker obtained unauthorized access to 2,000 private keys and made off with "low five figures."
