Suspected Private Key Leak Leads to Attack on Pump.Fun, Resulting in Theft of Cryptocurrencies

According to Odaily, Wintermute's Research Director, Lgor Lamberdiev, has reported a suspected private key leak on the platform pump.fun, leading to a significant attack. The attackers allegedly stole 2000 SOL and a large number of meme coins. Lamberdiev further stated that the service account address 5PXxuZ somehow signed the transactions, transferring funds to the attacker and random addresses, instead of deploying to the Raydium pool. This action strongly suggests that the attack was likely due to a leak from pump.fun. The incident underscores the importance of robust security measures in the world of digital currencies, where private key leaks can lead to significant losses. It serves as a reminder for platforms and individual users alike to ensure the security of their digital assets.
