Solana auditing firm OtterSec in a tweet claimed the Solana (SOL) hack is also affecting Ethereum (ETH) users, although it is less widespread. Until now over 8000 wallets have been compromised. OtterSec said attackers used actual keys for signing transactions, which means private keys on Phantom, Slope, Solflare, and TrustWallet are compromised.

OtterSec Claims Ethereum (ETH) Users Also Affected by Solana Hack

Solana auditing firm OtterSec in a tweet on August 3 said they are tracking the Solana hack. According to a Dune dashboard, over 8000 Solana wallets are now compromised. Moreover, there are incidences of the Solana wallet issue affecting ETH users. However, the ETH users are not widely affected.

The Solana hack affects multiple wallets including Phantom, Slope, Solflare, and TrustWallet. Users are requested to move assets to cold wallets or centralized exchanges.

OtterSec cited an Ethereum user who reported his ERC-20 and USDC-SPL tokens held on both Slope and TrustWallet were drained. Also, the wallets were inactive for 4o days.

PeckShieldAlert also confirmed that a user’s TrustWallet and Slope wallets were compromised on both Solana and Ethereum before the Solana wallets were drained. The attackers transferred nearly $80 million worth of ERC-20 tokens to his Ethereum address.
