A security breach in the Bloom Telegram trading bot has resulted in the theft of nearly $1 million worth of 
Solana (SOL) from nine users. The incident, which affected 49 wallets, was caused by a software vulnerability that allowed a hacker to drain approximately 9,408 SOL.
Bloom Trading, the company behind the bot, has confirmed the breach and stated that no private keys were stolen. The company has pledged to fully reimburse the affected users for their losses. This incident highlights the potential risks associated with third-party trading bots and the importance of robust security measures.
The attack was first reported by 
Bitcoin.com and later corroborated by The Daily Hodl. Both outlets agree on the amount stolen and the number of affected users, but they differ slightly in their emphasis, with Bitcoin.com focusing on the reimbursement promise and The Daily Hodl providing a more straightforward account of the incident.
The breach occurred amid a period of market volatility for Solana, which has seen its price fluctuate in recent weeks. At the time of the incident, SOL was trading at around $100.31, down 1.24% in the past 24 hours and 3.36% over the past week. The broader crypto market remained relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.74 trillion.
The incident raises questions about the security of Solana-based applications and the potential impact on investor confidence in the ecosystem. It also underscores the need for users to exercise caution when using third-party trading bots and to ensure that they are using reputable and secure platforms.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from $100.31 to $100.20 — -0.11%.
The chart plots SOL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ ₦138,666.28 (about $100.20), down 1.3% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 3.7% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
