Wow, Solana's Network Is Affected By A Phishing Attack!

JAKARTA – Solana Network was reportedly hit by a phishing attack. The cybercrime is packaged in the form of a website that offers user content entry. In fact, this is intended for the theft of crypto Solana (SOL) belonging to users, as reported by WuBlockchain.

Meanwhile, blockchain security firm SlowMist stated that attackers usually target NFT users and investors who are often looking for airdrops or free crypto by following a number of conditions, as well as a number of contests.

Hacker created fake page with NFT description and contest details. Once the user enters the website and signs the transaction, all SOL from their wallet is drained and transferred to the address of the scammers.

U.Today reports that the NFT industry on the Solana network is rumored to be the most dangerous place for investors. This is because most of the projects in the network are aimed at generating short-term profits with no intention of further eco-system development.

Some time ago, there was an exploitation in OpenSea after a security problem occurred in the NFT marketplace. Losses caused by hackers around 1 million US dollars or Rp. 14.4 billion.

The incident triggered a drop in activity on the Ethereum network, causing OpenSea to lose around 50 percent of trading volume in the last 30 days.

On the other hand, transaction fees on the Ethereum network have decreased significantly since 2021. Ethereuem gas fee decreased to 5 US dollars per transaction. While the second layer network can be even cheaper up to 0.1 US dollars per transaction.
