A recent supply chain attack on the Solana network ecosystem was swiftly controlled. Anza, a Solana-focused development team, disclosed that a compromised account with publish access to the solana/web3.js JavaScript library led to unauthorized packages containing malicious code. This code stole private key information and drained funds from dApps. Fortunately, non-custodial wallets were not affected as they do not expose private keys. The issue was isolated to the JavaScript client library and did not impact the Solana protocol. Despite some developers facing losses, popular Solana projects like Phantom and Backpack exchange remained unscathed. The attack resulted in approximately $160,000 in stolen assets, mainly in SOL. While significant, the damage could have been more severe. The incident underscores the importance of security measures in the crypto space.
