New day, new hack.
Around $959,000 has been drained from users of Bloomtrading, a Telegram trading bot, notably for Solana.
In total, 41 addresses were affected. I excluded all transfers below 1 solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112
The attacker’s address :
7kY8qx8MqJ7Rz2vMhgHETdZLHcTp1oM78AA9dmE9p8BQ
All of the funds were transferred to a single address, where they still sit :

Roughly 9 408 SOL were stolen across 68 transfers.
Overall, this attack is highly targeted, and the number of affected users is very limited for now.
That said, we can already see many posts from users on X claiming losses, so I imagine a lot of them are fake...
Official Statement | Security Incident Update
TL;DR: No private keys were compromised, unaffected wallets are safe, and all affected users will be fully reimbursed by Bloom.
Following our investigation, we have identified the exact attack vector and confirmed the scope of the incident.
The attack exploited a third-party module through a complex Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. No private keys were accessed or compromised, and we have ruled out broader exposure of users' wallets.
Incident Overview
Affected: 49 wallet addresses belonging to 9 users.
• Total losses: Approximately 9,408 SOL ($947,000).
• Root cause: Exploited third-party module enabling an RCE vulnerability.
• Refunds: Bloom will fully reimburse 100% of the stolen funds directly to secure wallets designated by the affected users.
• We are also working to trace the stolen funds, explore recovery and freezing options, and identify the attacker.
