PANews, July 21 news, according to Cointelegraph, MetaMask developer Consensys confirmed that it will urgently fix the issue of the browser extension writing to the hard disk abnormally. Multiple users reported that the plugin continuously writes data in the background, reaching up to 5MB per second, resulting in an average daily write of 500GB to solid-state drives (SSD). The issue can be traced back to May 9, when user 'Quanquan' reported that the unused MetaMask plugin wrote 100GB of data in a single day. On June 24, user ripper31337 documented the problem in detail, noting that the cumulative write over three months reached 25TB. A Consensys spokesperson acknowledged the existence of 'abnormally high disk activity,' primarily affecting users with excessively large state data, and promised to address this by reducing write frequency and optimizing data fetching strategies. The latest feedback indicates that as of July 17, the vulnerability still exists. Some users claimed that the plugin has depleted 50% of their SSD's lifespan. The MetaMask team responded again on July 19, stating that the repair plan is in progress.
