The global crypto market has continued to be bullish, but the pace of gains is relatively slower. Compared to the previous bullish waves, its value has seen little improvement. The positive changes for Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc., have continued but didn’t cross the expected resistance levels. It would need a stronger wave to take them higher. How they will respond in the coming hours is yet to be seen.
Another breach has taken place soon after the hacking of Nomad bridge. The latest affected names are Solana and Slope wallet which have seen losses due to a security breach. A statement from the two projects said both had been affected, but Slope was the main affected one, serving as a third-party wallet for Solana. The hackers used Slope to breach using its wallets.
According to the available information, 8,000 wallets were drained due to the breach. Solana confirmed the breach and said private key information was transmitted to an application monitoring service. They said that investigation is ongoing, and further information is underway. The good news for Solana users is that just one wallet has been affected while the remaining Solana Protocol is secure.
