Solana Releases Aug. 2 Slope Wallet Event Update

Aug 09,2022
KingData News: Solana said that it appears that affected addresses were at one point created, imported, or used in the Slope wallet applications on iOS and Android (created and published by Slope Finance). Private key material from these Slope users was inadvertently transmitted by the Slope app to an application monitoring service, but exactly how the hacker obtained or intercepted this information is still under investigation. No core code related to Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation, or anything related to Solana protocol itself was involved in this attack. This was not a protocol-level vulnerability. Hardware wallets (used with or without Slope) have not been impacted, and any wallets generated from seed phrases that have never been imported into (or used by) Slope wallets have not been affected. Solana officials also emphasized that if you are a user of Slope, or have ever previously imported seed phrases into Slope, your wallet may be compromised, even if no assets have been transferred. Users should not reuse any wallets derived from seed phrases previously used with Slope’s mobile applications.
On August 3, the Solana eco-wallet Phantom was suspected to have been hacked, with multiple users reporting that their funds were unknowingly depleted. This indicator provides an update on the theft of Solana wallets.
