Concerns have emerged regarding the security of the BonkBot, a popular tool among cryptocurrency users, following multiple reports of users' wallets being drained. Users of BonkBot and other related platforms are urgently advised to move their funds to secure locations. The issue appears to be linked to wallets that had their private keys exported and used with other decentralized applications (dApps). BonkBot's team, @bonkbot_io, has issued a statement dismissing claims of a direct exploit within their system as part of a fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) campaign by competitors, stating that BonkBot remains safe. However, they acknowledge that exploits are being triggered elsewhere in the ecosystem, affecting users who had exported their private keys, including non-BONKbot wallets. There is speculation that BonkBot may have logged exported private keys, leading to unauthorized access. The situation remains unclear, with ongoing investigations into which dApp or external factor is responsible for the security breach. Meanwhile, a competitor, Trojan, claims to be the best bot on Solana, suggesting it's a safer alternative.
my guess is bonkbot logged exported private keys and someone got access to the logs since everyone that is getting drained had exported their bonkbot keys https://t.co/3PDUvfaGGK
If you got drained @bonkbot_io, were you using any other telegram trading bot simultaneously with same wallet?
Important note for any BONKbot users. https://t.co/v9fEwnigh0
