Solana生态系统因另一次黑客攻击而遭受重大打击。这次,安全分析师已dent超过 8,620 个与 DEXX 黑客攻击相关的Solana钱包。由于恢复行动正在进行中,目前估计损失约为 3000 万美元。
MEME 币交易终端 DEXX 于 11 月 16 日成为安全漏洞的受害者。私钥泄露导致至少 900 名唯一用户遭受损失,Mist Trac报告称,大多数受害者遭受的损失不到 10,000 美元。然而,一名用户损失了超过 100 万美元。
此次攻击造成的总体损失最初估计为 2,100 万美元,成为 11 月份第二大黑客攻击事件,仅次于造成 2,550 万美元损失的 Thala 黑客攻击。随着时间的推移,估值已攀升至 3000 万美元。
DEXX创始人Roy首先在X平台上透露,dent安全公司将泄露所有黑客地址。社区被要求监视这些地址,并向平台报告任何可疑活动,以便立即封锁和拦截。
他们还尝试与黑客进行谈判。 Thala 还应用该公式成功与其DeFi协议的黑客进行谈判,并追回了 2500 万美元。
先生/女士黑客,
我们得到了安全机构、合作伙伴和交易所的tron支持,以找到我们被盗的代币。我们还监控您的地址,以便及时冻结被盗资金。我们要求您在接下来的 24 小时内解决此dent。这…

The account added, “Once you have returned the funds, we will immediately destroy all information we currently have about the hack. We will also stop all follow-up tracking and analysis. You will no longer be held responsible. However, if you do not comply, we will continue our investigation with the local police, security agencies, and the exchanges to take enforcement action to protect user assets, however long that takes.”
DEXX claims it is currently getting security upgrades. It also advised users not to make any deposits to the site. However, some users have continued to mke deposits despite warnings, which has led to more theft as the hacker’s script is still operating.
The hacker owns secret keys; hence, it could not be possible to get assets back via the exact same route. They have said that a new pay address will be added to help with fund returns.
Solana deals with hot wallets, always connected online, which let their owners make or get money right away. Sadly, this also generates certain security concerns. How the breach happened, how many people were impacted, and whether the victims could get their money back remain unknown.
Solana is a blockchain that supports builders creating crypto apps and has SOL as its crypto coin. SlowMist, a crypto-security firm, has published a document identifying over 8,620 Solana addresses suspected to be associated with the DEXX criminal.
In August 2022, Solana suffered an attack that affected almost the same number of addresses. The hackers attacked the Solana crypto ecosystem and compromised over 8,000 wallets. They drained over $5.2 million in digital coins, including Solana’s SOL token and USD Coin.
After investigating the incident, Solana quickly concluded that the majority of the victims were those who used mobile wallets. In light of this, they recommended hardware wallets instead, as there is no evidence to suggest that they have been affected by the vulnerabilities.
This new hack has proved that hardware wallets are also in some way vulnerable.
CNBC reported that cybercriminals stole $1.38 billion worth of crypto from January 1 to June 24. The theft levels more than doubled the $657 million stolen in the same timeframe the previous year.
In addition, hackers stole digital assets worth more than $71 million in November. In 2024, this will bring the total value of crypto stolen to more than $1.48 billion.
Crypto is growing bigger, but hackers are becoming more daring. The ongoing cyberattacks by cryptocurrency hackers are clearly tarnishing the industry’s reputation.
