Now, the IOTA team has taken to Twitter to warn users that they need to secure their Trinity wallets. They addressed only a certain portion of users, saying that they need to utilize the seed migration tool in order to secure their crypto. They also have to change passwords for stronger protection of their balances.

The warning was not addressed to owners of Ledger Nano wallets, though they recommended them to change their passwords.
