News about the Solana hack. According to a report, private keys were stored publicly.

The hack on the self-proclaimed "high-speed blockchain" Solana is now two days old. In the meantime, more and more details are coming to light. Security company Otter has published an analysis of its View post on X on Twitter.

In it, the company claims that the wallet provider Slope, hit by the hack, stored private keys on a centralized server that was publicly accessible.

Almost 1,400 addresses are believed to have fallen into the hackers' hands. Additionally, another 5,300 addresses were found, of which 2,358 coins were held. People are urged to be cautious. On Wednesday, the news that Solana had fallen victim to an exploit spread like wildfire. The project blames the hacking team.
