Telegram bot Banana Gun users have drained over $1.9 million

So far, at least 36 victims have suffered losses of around $2 million worth of ether.

Around $2 million worth of digital assets have been drained from users of the Telegram-based cryptocurrency trading bot Banana Gun.

Banana Gun allows Telegram users to trade on some of the most popular blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and Base.

However, at least 11 attackers have already drained $1.9 million worth of crypto from the bot’s users, according to Hakan Unal, chief security operations center officer at on-chain security firm Cyvers.

Unal told Cointelegraph:

“It seems that BananaGunBot wallets have been completely drained. Our system has detected around 11 attackers (maybe more), and around $1.9 million has been stolen. Hundreds of users have already been affected.”
