MetaMask responds to security incident in staking infrastructure

As a precaution, it is proactively exiting affected validators within its non-custodial staking operations, in coordination with clients, partners and security advisors.

• The wallet said it is actively remediating the issue internally and will share further updates as appropriate, directing users to a user update page.
