Tangem said it resolved a bug in its app that risked exposing private keys, but users have criticized its muted response.
Cryptocurrency wallet provider Tangem fixed a critical security vulnerability on its mobile app that collected certain users’ private keys via emails.
The fix came after Redditors repeatedly called out Tangem for putting investors’ funds at risk by exposing their private keys on email accounts and to Tangem employees.
On Dec. 29, a Reddit discussion on Tangem’s operations gained traction; it claimed the wallet provider allowed private keys to remain on email histories. The Redditor, u/areklanga, added that Tangem had not provided a “sensible reaction” when the issue was pointed out earlier.
