Solana Hack: What Actually Happened?

< 1 minute

In early August, the Solana crypto community was rocked by what looked like an unsolvable hack that drained roughly $4.5 million in SOL from several thousand users’ wallets.

An initial estimate by the team at MistTrack had identified 8,000 affected wallets with their funds being siphoned off to four addresses belonging to the alleged perpetrators. Another report by Decrypt gave a 15,200 estimate of affected Solana wallets.

In this article, we cover the following:

  • Details of how the exploit happened
  • Investigations carried out by Slope Finance and OtterSec
  • The possibility of Ethereum wallets also being affected
  • How a group of Solana white-hat hackers fought back
  • How an NFT leak method disclosed by the OMNIA team could have possibly identified the Solana attacker
