Hackers targeted the Solana ecosystem early on Aug 3 with thousands of wallets affected in the latest hit to the cryptocurrency market after bridge protocol Nomad was attacked at the start of the week.

Security company PeckShield said four Solana wallet addresses drained approximately US$8mil (RM23.6mil) from victims.
