Hackers Have Stolen Over $4 Million From Solana Users in Last Month

According to a report based on public blockchain data, two wallet drainers known as Rainbow Drainer and Node Drainer have stolen a total of $4.17 million worth of crypto assets from Solana users in the past month. These thefts primarily occurred through phishing links attached to NFT airdrops targeted at specific Solana token communities. The attackers convinced users to click on the links and sign transactions, resulting in their wallets being drained of all digital assets.
