Solana Status tweeted that an exploit allowed a malicious actor to drain funds from a number of wallets on Solana. As of 5am UTC approximately 7,767 wallets have been affected. The exploit has affected several wallets, including Slope and Phantom. This appears to have affected both mobile and extension. Engineers are currently working with multiple security researchers and ecosystem teams to identify the root cause of the exploit, which is unknown at this time. There's no evidence hardware wallets have been impacted – and users are strongly encouraged to use hardware wallets. Do not reuse the seed phrase on a hardware wallet - create a new seed phrase. Wallets drained should be treated as compromised, and abandoned.
