Solana-Based DEX Raydium Exploited $2 Million By Hackers

The DEX recognized the issue and stated that it believes an attacker used the exchange’s admin address to carry out the hack.

The fraudulent transactions were discovered by Prysm, a decentralized exchange aggregator on Solana.

At the time of publication, around $2 million in various cryptocurrencies were resting in the account of an attacker who had deliberately withdrawn user cash from Raydium liquidity pools.

ZachXBT, an on-chain investigator, discovered that the offender had moved the exploited fund to Ethereum.

Nansen, an analytics company, confirmed the discovery.

Raydium, which lets users trade between multiple cryptocurrencies without the necessity of a middleman, is one of the leading platforms in Solana’s struggling DeFi ecosystem.
