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.

Related wallet providers ខ្មោច, and non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace អេដែនវេទមន្ត alerted users on the same issue. Phantom, a Solana wallet built for DeFi and NFTs tweeted,
យើងកំពុងធ្វើការយ៉ាងជិតស្និទ្ធជាមួយក្រុមផ្សេងទៀត ដើម្បីឈានទៅដល់បាតនៃចំណុចងាយរងគ្រោះដែលបានរាយការណ៍នៅក្នុងប្រព័ន្ធអេកូឡូស៊ី Solana ។ នៅពេលនេះ ក្រុមការងារមិនជឿថា នេះជាបញ្ហាជាក់លាក់របស់ Phantom ទេ។
ដរាបណាយើងប្រមូលព័ត៌មានបន្ថែម យើងនឹងចេញការអាប់ដេត។

អេដែនវេទមន្ត បានបញ្ជាក់ 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.”
ក្នុងនាមជា ស្ថានភាពសូឡាណា‘ 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 បានបង្ហាញ នៅក្នុងធ្វីត។
Meanwhile, Ava Labs CEO and founder អេមមីនហ្គឺរសៀរ 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.
ផ្លូវមួយដែលអាចធ្វើទៅបានគឺ "ការវាយប្រហារខ្សែសង្វាក់ផ្គត់ផ្គង់" ដែលបណ្ណាល័យ JS ត្រូវបានលួចចូល ហើយវាដក (លួច) សោឯកជនរបស់អ្នកប្រើប្រាស់។ កាបូបដែលរងផលប៉ះពាល់ហាក់ដូចជាត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងក្នុងរយៈពេល ~ 9 ខែចុងក្រោយ ប៉ុន្តែមានរបាយការណ៍អំពីកាបូបដែលទើបបង្កើតថ្មីក៏ត្រូវបានរងផលប៉ះពាល់ផងដែរ។

Binance’s chief, ឆាងផេងហ្សូ។ (CZ), too បានអធិប្បាយ 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.
