Noones, a peer-to-peer cryptomarketplaats, had to deal with a security infringement, which resulted in a loss of around $ 8 million.
On January 24, on-chain researcher Zachxbt noted That the exploit probably took place between January 1 and 2, with the hot wallets of the platform processing hundreds of questionable transactions.
According to him, this outflow, each was valued under $ 7,000, jointly $ 7.9 million and Ethereum, Tron, Solana and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) included.
The stolen money was then sent to Ethereum and BSC before it was led to the Cryptomixer Tornado Cash.
Despite the severity of the incident, Noones reportedly waived the infringement of the infringement. Instead, the platform announced a routine New Year’s maintenance update.
After the unveiling of Zachxbt, Ray Youssef, CEO of Noones, publicly confirmed the exploit in a post on social media. He attributed the infringement to a vulnerability in the Solana bridge of the platform, which immediately approached the security team.
He explained:
“On January 1 there was an exploit of our Solana bridge. Our security teams responded quickly and the situation was immediately under control. User funds Safu and personal data Safu. ”
Youssef also announced that the Solana bridge, which was suspended during the maintenance period, will remain inactive until the extensive penetration tests are completed. He emphasized the need for increased safety and stated that the platform will not restore the Solana bridge before it has passed strict tests.
Market observers noted that the Noones infringement is part of a disturbing trend of exploits within the crypto industry.
On January 23, the Phemex grant confirmed that her platform had suffered a violation that had led to considerable losses. The attack is reportedly associated with hacker groups supported by North Korea.
Last year, malicious actors stole around $ 3.6 billion in crypto, of which $ 1.3 billion was laundered illegally
