My Kraken Wallet has been compromised
It is important to take immediate action to prevent any further access to your assets if they still remain in your Kraken Wallet.
- •
If any assets remain in your compromised wallet, immediately withdraw them to a safe location (e.g., a crypto trading platform or custodian) or transfer assets to a new wallet with a new Secret Recovery Phrase.
- •
If your wallet is compromised it is wise to assume that your Secret Recovery Key is compromised. This means importing your wallet to a new device will not resolve the issue.
- •
Unfortunately, Kraken is unable to assist with the recovery of any disputed funds due to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions.
