$30 Million DEXX Hack Affects Over 8,600 Solana Wallets Lawrence Mike Woriji | usagoldmines.com

On November 16th, DEXX, a popular platform for trading memecoins, fell victim to a security breach.

The hack has now been linked to over 8,600 Solana wallets, with losses reaching nearly $30 million.

What Happened?

The hack occurred when a security flaw in the DEXX system allowed a hacker to steal funds from users. Crypto security experts at SlowMist were quick to jump into action, identifying more than 8,620 Solana wallet addresses tied to the breach. At the time of the attack, it was estimated that $21 million had been lost. However, as the investigation continued, the total amount of lost funds climbed to an estimated $30 million.

According to SlowMist, the hacker gained access to users’ wallets through a private key leak. A private key is a crucial piece of information that helps control access to someone’s cryptocurrency. Without it, hackers can easily steal coins from a wallet. While most victims lost less than $10,000, one unlucky individual lost over $1 million.

Why Does This Matter?

This breach is one of the largest hacks of November 2024, second only to the $25.5 million Thala hack. However, Thala was able to recover all of its lost funds, unlike DEXX, where recovery efforts are still underway. As of November 29, the total loss from the DEXX hack has continued to grow, as meme tokens like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin fluctuate in value. These price changes are affecting how much users have lost in total.

For many victims, this hack is a harsh reminder of the risks involved in the world of cryptocurrency. As the saying goes, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.” In crypto, things can go wrong quickly, and losing access to your wallet can happen in the blink of an eye.

Looking Ahead

The DEXX hack highlights the importance of keeping your digital assets safe. It’s like locking your front door to protect your house—if you don’t, anyone can walk in and take what’s yours. For now, security experts are working hard to help victims recover their funds, but it’s still unclear how much of the stolen crypto will be returned.
