🚨 MetaMask security incident impacts Ethereum staking
MetaMask has begun precautionary exits for affected Ethereum validators after a security incident diverted an estimated 0.36 ETH in block-production rewards.
🔹 ~523K ETH held across affected validators
🔹 No immediate threat to MetaMask wallets identified
🔹 No reported slashing or loss of staked ETH
🔹 Validators are being exited as a precaution
🔹 Re-entry into Ethereum staking could take up to ~45 days
The incident appears to have affected validator reward destinations rather than users’ underlying staked ETH.
