Possible Banana Gun hack: users of the Telegram bot have had their wallet siphoned of 563 $ETH

Maximum vigilance. This Thursday, September 19, 2024, it seems that several users of the Banana Gun bot on Telegram have seen their wallet drained. As reported in particular by The Block, there seem to be already 36 victims, and its last have been stolen 563 ethers (ETH). That's nearly $1.4 million at the current Ethereum rate.

Although a direct link was not established at the time of writing these lines, Banana Gun's development teams preferred to take their trading bot offline, because they say they are "investigating the problem" on their Telegram channel.

Given that the trading application has about 272,000 users according to The Block, the limited number of wallets reached so far (36 listed), it is difficult to say if Banana Gun is indeed at fault here, let alone where its flaw would be if so. But with 280 cryptocurrency-thieving applications discovered on mobile until recently, it may also be a simple coincidence.
