Trading dog coins through an app means your private key is actually on someone else’s server: Proxima hacked for $200K–$250K, 3 details
Theo of Solana trading platform Proxima posted at 14:48 Beijing time on 11/14: Due to a vulnerability in third-party monitoring tool SigNoz, around $200K–$250K in funds were affected—less than 5% of total funds. The platform promised full reimbursement and warned users not to send more funds to affected wallets.
An update at 20:24 provided 3 details:
1. Scope: Only wallets created, imported, or exported on Proxima within the past 15 days may be affected.
2. Unusual activity: If you see coins moving in your wallet, the team says it is transferring funds to new wallets.
3. Flagging: Potentially affected wallets will be marked in red as “Compromised.” The platform says its own code and the entire database were not breached, and that other protocols were also affected to varying degrees.
3 practical takeaways:
- If you’ve ever imported a seed phrase into any app, assume your private key is no longer in your hands alone. Keep large amounts in a wallet you control, and use a separate, small-balance wallet for trading dog coins.
- Don’t send any more funds to an address marked “Compromised.”
- The platform’s exact words were: “No action is required, and there’s no need to contact us individually.” If someone DMs you offering to help claim reimbursement, treat it as a scam.
An app can buy instantly for you because it holds your private key. That’s the price of speed.
