Solana Crypto Heist: Massive Losses in CLINKSINK Drain Attacks

Recent Campaigns Exploit CLINKSINK Drainer to Steal Solana Cryptocurrency

A series of campaigns have surfaced since December 2023 that exploit the CLINKSINK drainer to steal funds and tokens from Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency users. These campaigns involve the use of malicious scripts and smart contracts known as drainers to siphon funds and digital assets from unsuspecting victims. The identified campaigns involved at least 35 affiliate IDs associated with a common drainer-as-a-service (DaaS) that utilizes CLINKSINK. The operators of this service provide the drainer scripts to affiliates in exchange for a percentage of the stolen funds.
