Thunder Terminal claims funds safe after $240K attack, hacker says otherwise

The on-chain trading platform confirmed a 3rd party compromise has led to funds being drained from 114 wallets but claims it has already fixed the issue. The hacker has a different take.

On-chain trading platform Thunder Terminal says user funds are now safe after thwarting a $240,000 exploit that compromised 114 wallets on its platform. The hacker, however, says it’s “all lies” and is demanding an additional ransom for user data. 

In a Dec. 27 incident report following the exploit, Thunder assured users that no private keys or wallets had been compromised. Thunder wrote that the total losses incurred during the attack amounted to 86.5 Ether (ETH) and 439 Solana (SOL) — totaling $240,000 — over just nine minutes.

While Thunder reassured its users that all their data was safe, a memo left by the attacker on Etherscan said otherwise, with the exploiter claiming that Thunder’s assurances were “all lies,” and demanded a 50 ETH ($110,000) ransom for the supposedly affected data.
