Nearly $1 million stolen in just 94 seconds.

According to a blockchain investigation by Bitquery, an attacker drained 9,408 SOL worth approximately $953,000 from 48 wallets belonging to nine traders who had used the Bloom trading bot on Telegram.

But the most alarming detail is this: some of the affected wallets had not been used with the bot since the first half of 2025.

The attacker tested wallets, identified the targets and drained their funds in a coordinated sequence. Almost all the stolen SOL ended up in a single wallet.

Bloom attributed the incident to a remote code execution vulnerability in a third-party module and promised to reimburse all affected users in full. The precise mechanism behind the attack remains under investigation.

What does this incident reveal?

🔹 Old connections can create new risks. Discontinued use of a service does not necessarily eliminate exposure associated with previously connected wallets.

🔹 Speed changes the economics of crime. Automated attacks can move substantial amounts of digital assets before victims have time to react.

🔹 Tracing matters. Blockchain intelligence can reconstruct transaction flows, connect related transfers and help investigators identify where stolen assets move.

The key question is no longer just how to prevent a breach. It is also how quickly suspicious activity can be detected, investigated and acted upon.

In digital finance, every second counts.
