Excerpt: The beleaguered cryptocurrency market is facing another test of resilience after a new exploit on the Solana blockchain has seen more than $8 million in funds drained from users' wallets in the last two days.
Beginning late Tuesday, the exploit mainly targeted the Phantom and Slope wallets, two of the popular hot wallet options in the Solana ecosystem.
According to the Twitter account Solana Status, which has been providing updates on the situation, "approximately 7,767 wallets" have been drained by the attack and should now be considered "compromised, and abandoned."
