A week ago, IOTA’s Trinity Wallet suffered a hacker attack with many users losing their crypto balances.
Afterward, the IOTA team highly recommended not using mobile Trinity wallets or PC ones until the investigation was over.
IOTA contacted law enforcement organizations to conduct an investigation together and strive to get results as fast as possible.
Alex DovbnyaNow, 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.
Trinity users - If you opened #Trinity between Dec 17th 2019 - Feb 18th 01.30 CET 2020, you will need to use the seed migration tool to protect your tokens. Further details about the tool and migration period soon. All updates at https://t.co/3blzUVGJTE or https://t.co/vbg93hQBiG

The warning was not addressed to owners of Ledger Nano wallets, though they recommended them to change their passwords.
Ledger Nano users do not need to use the migration tool, but it is strongly recommended that you change your password.
