Solana Relayer Attack Nets Attacker $4.5M, But Users Protected
A $4.5 million attack on the Solana relayer for the Across protocol was executed on July 17, but surprisingly, no user lost a cent.
The attacker exploited a bug in the offchain code file by forging deposit events that didn't exist on-chain.
Risk Labs' own capital absorbed the financial damage directly, with a gross payout of approximately $4.5 million and a net loss under $4 million.
