Hackers are reportedly targeting the Solana ecosystem amid substantial gains witnessed by its native token SOL and various memecoins since October 2023. 
“As Solana continues to gain popularity, drainer groups are increasingly moving towards it, as indicated by the growing number of malicious Solana dApps detected by Blockaid,” a recent post stated.

According to a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), the malicious hackers are employing intricate methods to deceive Solana users into linking their wallets and authorizing transactions: 
“These drainers are highly sophisticated and can deceive the simulations used by Solana wallets, leading users to unknowingly sign malicious transactions.” 
Web3 fraud protection platform BlockAid further encouraged Solana developers to proactively contact them.&nbsp; 
They will be able to explore strategies to increase the security measures provided to users on the platform. 
“If you are building on Solana, please feel free to reach out to us to protect your users from fraud, phishing and hacks.”

In 2023, it was reported that Solana’s Cypher Protocol was forced to freeze its smart contract after losing a suspected $1,035,203 to an exploit. 
According to Solscan, the suspected attacker stole 38,530 SOL and $123,184 in USDC from the decentralized exchange.&nbsp; 
Later, they sent 30,000 USDC to a wallet on Binance in what could have been an attempt to cash out their money. 
At the time of publication, Solana’s <a href="https://coinstats.app/coins/solana/">price</a> stands at $101.22.
