The same post says Duelbits stays offline until the team has clarity[1].

SlowMist records the incident as a suspected private-key compromise across Duelbits’ hot wallets on Ethereum, BSC, Tron and Bitcoin: about $4.9 million sent to newly created addresses, most of it swapped to ETH[2][3].

The recovery plan is to finish the investigation, re-top the hot wallets and launch Duelbits 2.0[4]. The wallets the key emptied are the wallets that get refilled[2].

What to do: no action needed — the co-founder’s post says “User funds are safe.”[1]
