Hack alert in altcoin project
Crema Finance, a liquidity protocol operating on the Solana Blockchain, has temporarily suspended its services. Because there was an attack that consumed a significant but undisclosed amount of funds. Shortly after realizing that its protocol had been hacked, Crema Finance suspended its liquidity services to prevent the hacker from draining its liquidity reserves. Liquidity reserves also included the funds of the service provider and investors.

He took the reins to track the hacker’s wallet and better understand the situation. Based on personal research, crypto community member “HarveyMackinto2” allegedly identified the hacker’s wallet address. There are 69,422.89 Solana (SOL) tokens at the address in question. Purchased in a series of transactions in a matter of hours, SOL is worth roughly over $2.3 million.

Henry Du, co-founder of Crema Finance, also confirmed that all functions of the protocol are suspended indefinitely. He asked investors to keep up with the latest updates on the situation.
