Blockchain investigator PeckShield reiterated the said illicit activity. He further added that the widespread hack was likely caused due to a “supply chain issue” which was exploited to steal users’ private keys.
#PeckShieldUyarı Solana cüzdanlarındaki yaygın saldırı, muhtemelen cüzdanları etkileyen kullanıcı özel anahtarlarını çalmak/ortaya çıkarmak için kullanılan tedarik zinciri sorunundan kaynaklanıyor. Şu ana kadar, likit olmayan bir boktan para hariç (sadece 8 bekletme var ve belki de 30 milyon dolar yanlış değerlenmiş) kaybın 570 milyon dolar olduğu tahmin ediliyor. pic.twitter.com/aTGNsTc6d8

Related wallet providers Fantom, and non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace sihirli cennet alerted users on the same issue. Phantom, a Solana wallet built for DeFi and NFTs tweeted,
Solana ekosisteminde bildirilen bir güvenlik açığının temeline inmek için diğer ekiplerle yakın bir şekilde çalışıyoruz. Şu anda ekip, bunun Phantom'a özgü bir sorun olduğuna inanmıyor.
Daha fazla bilgi toplar toplamaz bir güncelleme yayınlayacağız.

sihirli cennet onaylı the reports earlier in the day on 3 August by stating,
“There seems to be a widespread SOL exploit that’s draining wallets, people should revoke permissions for any suspicious links.”
Başına göre Solana Durumu‘ investigation, engineers from multiple ecosystems, with the help of several security firms, investigated drained wallets on Solana. “There is no evidence hardware wallets are impacted,” the team ortaya bir tweet.
Meanwhile, Ava Labs CEO and founder Emin Gun Sirer stated that the number was 7,000 plus wallets. Well, ‘a number which is rising at around 20 per minute.’ As the transactions appear to be signed properly, the attacker likely acquired access to private keys.
Olası yollardan biri, bir JS kütüphanesinin saldırıya uğradığı ve kullanıcıların özel anahtarlarının sızdırıldığı (çaldığı) bir "tedarik zinciri saldırısıdır". Etkilenen cüzdanların son ~9 ayda oluşturulduğu görülüyor ancak yeni oluşturulan cüzdanların da etkilendiğine dair raporlar var.

Binance’s chief, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), too yorumladı on this delicate matter to shed light on this situation.
Shades of certainty
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time, a Solana-related hack was discovered.
This doesn’t mean that SOL didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Despite market conditions, network usage measured by unique fee payers continued an upward trend.
On the Solana network, unique fee payers reached an all-time high of 450,000 in May. This was almost double the previous all-time high of 280,000 in January 2022.
Notably, the network averaged around 205,000 unique fee payers during Q1. And, stabilized at about 320,000 during Q2.
The growth in unique fee payers is consistent with the growth in newly minted NFTs, NFT sales, and unique NFT buyers.
