Pump.fun accused of deliberately getting traders hooked on gambling
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the platform. Plaintiffs claim they obtained access to around 5,000 internal messages from the team. According to the allegations, the developers deliberately turned memecoin trading into something like a slot machine:
🔸 Maximum excitement and nonstop trading
🔸 Users lose money, but keep coming back
🔸 The platform earns fees regardless of traders’ results $SOL $PUMP
🔐 A vulnerability in a Bitcoin wallet allowed funds to be stolen without private keys
A critical vulnerability was discovered: an attacker’s server could replace a manual fee increase with a payment confirmation benefiting the attacker. In other words, users thought they were simply speeding up a transaction, but were actually signing a transfer to someone else’s address.
The vulnerability was fixed in version 4.8.3. If you use the affected wallet, updating is essential. $BTC $USDC
