Attack on Solana Reportedly Affects 8,000 Wallets, $8 Million in Cryptocurrency

Solana, an increasingly popular blockchain known for its speedy transactions, has become the target of the crypto sphere’s latest hack after users reported that funds have been drained from Internet-connected “hot” wallets. An unknown actor drained funds from 7,767 wallets on the Solana network, and blockchain security firm SlowMist’s crypto tracker identified that more than 8,000 wallets had been drained — an estimated loss so far of around $8 million.
