Hackers have compromised Hola, a free VPN service, for a five-hour period that may have left Google Chrome users’ crypto wallets compromised for merely having installed the Hola extension.

These 2 tweets from the official MyEtherWallet Twitter account @myetherwallet


"We received a report that suggest Hola chrome extension was hacked for approximately 5 hrs and the attack was logging your activity on MEW."


"Urgent! If you have Hola chrome extension installed and used MEW within the last 24 hrs, please transfer your funds immediately to a brand new account!"
