Yesterday, In the evening, Infura confirmed that the problem has been fixed and services are fully operational without any issue.
In a response tweet, a Twitter user raised concern on the popular Ethereum wallet “MetaMask” and claimed that while it is open source but in actuality, it may result in a scam because MetaMask allows Apple’ iCloud service to store all information, including phrase backup.
On 17 April, Metamask officially suggested iCloud users disable automatic backup to keep the data of Metamask wallet away from local storage apps.
Metamask team noted that both iCloud and Metamask are safe at their level but local storage of data after backup may lead to some big scam if any hacker will target a specific user.
