"There have also been different reports on how many wallets have been affected and the extent of the damage so far [...] Ava Labs CEO and founder Emin Gun Sirer stated that the number was at 7,000 plus wallets, a number which is rising at around 20 per minute. He said he believes that as the transactions appear to be signed properly, 'it is likely that the attacker has acquired access to private keys' [Quarmby, B. Ongoing Solana-based wallet hack has already seen millions drained. (Accessed August 2, 2022)].
Due to the on-going nature of this hack/exploit, updates will be posted by this author as information becomes known. If you have coins/tokens in either a Phantom or Slope wallets the call is out for you to move your assets to cold storage if possible (i.e. Ledger). If not possible a less reliable method of protection is to move your assets to a newly created wallet with no pre-authorizations.
