The team behind Solareum, a Telegram trading app for buying and selling Solana-based tokens on the popular messaging platform, announced that it would shut down after being tied to an exploit that saw some $523,000 worth of SOL drained from user wallets last week.
The wallet-draining exploit, which is estimated to have affected more than 300 Solana users, occurred late last week.
However, the team behind the BONK meme coin denied that their Telegram bot had a security lapse and said that any BONKbot users impacted by the exploit had previously exported their private keys to use in other apps.
Solareum then said in a tweet response on Friday that “there [may be] a chance we got exploited.”
Solareum’s team said that they would contact authorities in an attempt to freeze any stolen crypto assets should they be sent to centralized exchanges
