Crypto Card Heist on Solana | Business and Finance News
Description
A major crypto heist hit Solana-based neobanks Avici and Tria, draining over $1.1 million—mostly from Avici users—with tokens plummeting 50%. The breach exploited an outdated contract holding card top-up funds, allowing attackers to siphon stablecoins, convert them to Solana, move them to Ethereum, and obscure trails via Tornado Cash. Rain, the infrastructure provider, patched the vulnerability. Avici pledged full refunds, while Tria covered losses despite token dips. The FBI’s now involved, but refund timelines remain unclear.
