Last week, the domain of BONK.fun, the popular platform linked to the Solana memecoin, was hijacked. This Friday, the platform team announced that they have fully restored the website, further clarifying that the incident stemmed from a breach at a third-party service provider rather than a protocol failure. They also revealed that user losses due to phishing interfaces amount to $30,000.
The vulnerability of external infrastructure was exposed by this attack, even as internal systems remained secure. BONK.fun detailed that a social engineering exploit targeting the domain provider facilitated the unauthorized transfer. Despite the reputational impact, the team reacted proactively by announcing a 110% reimbursement of stolen funds to victims, covering both direct losses and opportunity costs.
Currently, BONK.fun is operating normally, although some antivirus alerts persist on the main domain; consequently, an alternative domain has been enabled. Meanwhile, market reaction has been moderate; the BONK token price maintains a bearish trend, trading near $0.0000059, reflecting investor caution following the exploit.
