Swissborg erleidet Sicherheitsverletzung auf Solana: Über 41 Millionen US-Dollar gestohlen

DeFi-Plattform Swissborg meldet massiven Sicherheitsvorfall auf Solana-Blockchain

Ein Angreifer nutzte eine Schwachstelle im Smart Contract – über 41 Millionen Dollar in Kryptowährungen wurden innerhalb weniger Stunden abgezogen. Die Plattform hat alle Transaktionen vorerst gestoppt und arbeitet mit Blockchain-Forensik-Teams zusammen.

Investoren fragen sich erneut: Wann lernen diese zentralisierten Plattformen endlich, dass Sicherheit nicht nachträglich implementiert werden kann?

SwissBorg confirmed the incident

In a post on the X platform, ZachXBT, well-known in the crypto community for unearthing and tracking illicit activities on the blockchain, revealed the alleged wallet address of the offender, and it has been identified as: “TYFWG3hvvxWMs2KXEk8cDuJCsXEYKs65eeqpD9P4mK1.”

At the time of this report, SwissBorg had confirmed the security breach through its X platform account.

“A partner API was compromised, impacting our SOL Earn Program (~193k SOL,

SwissBorg.

SwissBorg further shared their recovery plans, which include “allocating SwissBorg’s SOL Treasury so users recover a significant portion of their balance, figures to be finalized soon,” while ongoing actions include “engaging white-hat hackers & security partners to recover compromised funds with the goal of making all users whole.”

The platform also explained that they WOULD reach out to concerned users via email with further explanations. Other programs remain unaffected, according to their post on the X platform.

“SwissBorg is in good financial health, and this incident does not affect Day-to-day operations,” wrote the company.

Some crypto enthusiasts appreciated the “swift response,” transparency, and explanations by Swissborg, adding that such incidents happen to “the best of exchanges.” But others think otherwise.

SwissBorg is popular in Europe, offering centralized applications for buying and selling and earning yield on a range of digital assets. The crypto investment platform last year announced its compliance with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority’s stringent rules.

The recent security breach is another blow to the digital asset space as it continues to battle with sophisticated security threats. The incident also highlights the risks that are associated with both centralized and decentralized platforms, which underscores the urgent need for strong security measures.
