Cyberattackers Drain Nearly $6M From Solana Crypto Wallets

So far, the ongoing attack has impacted nearly 8,000 Solana hot wallets.

An attack that began on Aug. 2 has so far drained nearly $6 million in assets from almost 8,000 Solana wallets — specifically hot wallets that are always connected to the Internet.
According to Elliptic Connect, the
attackers have stolen SOL
, a few
nonfungible tokens (NFTs)
, and more than 300 Solana blockchain-based tokens. According to the Elliptic report, the bug that enabled the
cryptocurrency attack
appears to be in the wallet software rather than the Solana blockchain.
Solana, in a series of tweets, confirmed that the breach also affected
Slope and Phantom wallets
, and it asked any affected customers to provide the
compromised wallet address
.
Engineers are currently working with multiple security researchers and ecosystem teams to identify the root cause of the exploit, Solana said in a tweeted announcement of the
crypto-wallet breach
. Wallets drained should be treated as compromised, and abandoned.
Users should disconnect their wallets from the Internet if theyre configured to be always-connected.
