Trinity Wallet was recently attacked, resulting in the theft of around 8.55 Ti in IOTA tokens. IOTA Foundation then stated in Xangle, a crypto disclosure platform, that “If you used Trinity from December 17, 2019 to February 17, 2020, your tokens might be at risk and you need to take action to prevent theft.” In order to do so, they highlighted that “Trinity users can download the Seed Migration Tool until 5PM UTC March 7.”
The Seed Migration Tool (Mac version, Linux version, Windows version), which is now officially available, is an easy-to-use piece of software for MacOS, Windows and Linux that automatically migrates IOTA Tokens from potentially compromised seeds onto a new, and unaffected seed. This will allow IOTA to protect its users from being attacked even after they re-operate the mainnet. The tool has been thoroughly tested by the IOTA Foundation and audited by a leading security firm.
IOTA revealed that they are planning on re-operating after 5PM UTC March 7,
Note that although manual transfer without the official tool is possible even after the given period, this method is not recommended due to the risk of theft once the mainnet is reenabled.
