What could be said at this point? Absolute dumpster fire.

What a disaster. You cannot safely hold that even with your own keys. And probably people will still use it. So much harm due to ignorance.

Just press this button to confirm that you permit an updatable smart contract to perform any operations with all your assets: [🤡]

Lol this is the type of news I love waking up to a shitcoin self inflicted L is the best shitcoiner tears around

It seems that about $5M to $10M has been stolen. To put in this into context, NOMAD bridge was hacked the other day and $150M was gone.

Seeing a lot of speculation on the hack still. After helping coordinate a SOL Security room for the last 12+ hours and speaking to multiple wallet peoviders, here are some things for the public to keep in mind. Core to everything: we do not have a clear explanation yet. Now, a 🧵
