What happened
The attack on Avici continued at the time of publication, and the service reported issues with withdrawing funds from card balances.
Why it matters
The incident highlights risk for users of crypto services where card balances are tied to blockchain infrastructure, especially when an attack is still ongoing.
The attacker drained more than $1 million from Avici users during the ongoing attack on the Solana network. At the time of publication, the wallet associated with the attack contained 10 005 SOL and, according to The Defiant, continued to receive funds.
Almost two hours after the first withdrawal transaction, Avici said it was aware of a problem affecting withdrawals from card balances. The available material does not specify which users were affected or how the attacker gained access to funds.
The incident matters because it affects not a single cryptocurrency wallet, but the service’s user card balances, combining neobank functions with Solana infrastructure. There are no confirmed data on the total losses, whether the attack has stopped, or the measures to return funds yet.
