Instead, it was a direct intervention by the team to protect users who lost access to their tokens after falling prey to malicious activities, including phishing attacks and the loss of seed phrases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">During the pre-launch in September, several user wallets intended for WLFI token allocations were compromised. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Specifically, attackers exploited third-party lapses, including scam clones that mimicked WLFI to steal private keys. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Overall, 272 user wallets were impacted.
