Layer 1 blockchain network Solana (SOL) suffered a massive software supply chain attack on Tuesday, impacting the protocol’s users and developers. The attack involved the solana/web3.js JavaScript library, which is used by many decentralized applications (dApps) on the Solana blockchain.
The Solana development team, Anza, reported that an account with access to publish the library was compromised. This allowed the attackers to introduce malicious code that captured private keys and transmitted them to a hardcoded address. As a result, the attackers drained funds from dApps that interacted with these private keys.
