Don't remind me again today

There has been another major incident in South Korea. A leading trading platform experienced a wallet attack in the early hours of November 27, directly evaporating 38.5 million USD in assets — that's right, it's the kind of feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and find your wallet has been emptied.



This operation occurred at 4:42 AM Korean time, with hackers targeting assets on the Solana chain. Ecological tokens such as SOL, USDC, and BONK were all affected. The blockchain security team PeckShield was quick to notice something was off through on-chain data before the platform officially announced it, sounding the alarm directly on social media. They initially estimated losses at 36 million dollars, but the platform later confirmed the actual number was even higher.

The platform's CEO Wu Jiao Xi urgently disclosed details: After discovering the anomaly, the technical team swiftly transferred the remaining funds in the affected Wallet to cold storage, while cutting off all deposit and withdrawal channels. Currently, they have jointly frozen Solaire tokens worth 12 billion won with the project party and are still tracking the flow of other stolen assets.

The most crucial thing is the attitude—the platform has clearly stated that users will not bear this loss, and all losses will be covered by the internal reserve fund. User account balances remain unchanged; whatever is owed will still be owed. Such a commitment is rare in the industry, as we have seen too many "users sharing the losses" operations.

That said, 38.5 million dollars is not a fatal blow for a large platform, but the security audit has indeed sounded the alarm. The transaction speed on the Solana chain is fast, but the wallet security still needs more locks.
SOL1.62%
USDC0.01%
BONK2.04%

$38.5 million just gone, this is truly a textbook example of a rug pull... But the platform's attitude is okay, at least they didn't shift the blame to the users.

Damn, here we go again. I haven't even received my free SOL airdrop yet. CEO Wu's attitude this time is still somewhat acceptable, much better than those platforms that directly let users share the burden. However, this also shows that Solana's ecosystem wallets really need to be careful. Waking up this morning to find my funds cleared feels... I experienced it once last year, and now I don't even dare to keep spare cash in a hot wallet; a cold wallet is the way to go. 38.5 million dollars might not bankrupt a big platform, but this time the explosion directly hit their credit. If users panic and start to rug pull, that would be truly fatal.

38.5 million USD vanished just like that, this is the real "Flash Loans"... Is the SOL ecosystem really this exciting recently?

38.5 million USD just vanished, I really can't understand how these platforms are protected. The SOL chain is fast, but why does it always have issues with security?

Here we go again with Solana, this chain always seems to have issues... However, this platform is quite considerate, not shifting the blame onto the users.

Once again, the Solana ecosystem is in trouble, and the speed is as fierce as a sell-off... 38.5 million evaporated instantly, luckily this platform still dares to support, otherwise this would be another scene of users cutting losses. --- Wallet security is a hurdle that always gets tripped over, no matter how fast Solana is, it’s useless. --- Woke up to find everything emptied... I’m so damn familiar with this feeling, it’s just like that moment of cutting losses. --- Goodness, they took action at 4:42 AM, the hacker's time management skills are amazing. --- Support? Sure, that’s indeed rare, but 38.5 million getting dumped is just a drop in the bucket for a leading platform. --- Here we go again, buying the dip on Solana ecosystem coins, it’s always like this after every storm. --- PeckShield discovered it faster than the platform’s official announcement, now that’s real on-chain intuition. --- 12 billion won frozen... tracking the flow of stolen assets, this scene is too familiar, in the end, 80% won’t be recovered.

It's the Solana ecosystem again, why does this chain always have issues... However, this platform's attitude is pretty good this time, directly backing it up themselves, which is much better than those who pass the buck.
