Odaily News According to the monitoring of the SlowMist security team, on July 2, a victim said that he had used an open source project hosted on GitHub the day before - zldp2002/solana-pumpfun-bot, and then his encrypted assets were stolen. According to SlowMist analysis, in this attack, the attacker induced users to download and run malicious code by disguising as a legitimate open source project (solana-pumpfun-bot). Under the cover of increasing the popularity of the project, the user ran the Node.js project with malicious dependencies without any defense, resulting in the leakage of wallet private keys and theft of assets. The entire attack chain involves multiple GitHub accounts to operate in coordination, which expands the scope of dissemination, enhances credibility, and is extremely deceptive. At the same time, this type of attack uses social engineering and technical means, and it is difficult to fully defend within the organization. SlowMist recommends that developers and users be highly vigilant against GitHub projects of unknown origin, especially when it comes to wallet or private key operations. If you really need to run and debug, it is recommended to run and debug in an independent machine environment without sensitive data.
