Ethereum co-founder and Consensys founder and CEO Joseph Lubin said there is, based on the investigation so far, no sign that MetaMask wallets or customer funds held in those wallets were affected by the MetaMask infrastructure incident. He said seed phrases, private keys, and wallet assets were not involved in the event and remain self-custodied by users. Lubin added that the team is not publicly discussing details of the incident while it is still being handled, but has disclosed the matter to partners and stakeholders and is working with them on a response. As a precaution, Consensys and its partners have rotated validator keys, and the affected validators will need to exit the staking queue before re-entering.
