SwissBorg CEO Clarifies DeFi Wallet Hack Impact
SwissBorg CEO confirms no user funds lost in DeFi wallet hack tied to $SOL Earn strategy.
- SwissBorg CEO confirms no user losses.
- Hack targeted external DeFi wallet linked to $SOL Earn.
- Platform operations and funds remain secure.
SwissBorg, a leading crypto wealth management platform, has responded swiftly to concerns following news of a security incident. CEO Cyrus Fazel confirmed that no user funds were compromised in the recent hack, which specifically targeted an external DeFi wallet associated with the platform’s $SOL Earn strategy.
The reassurance comes amidst growing user anxiety over the safety of funds held on centralized and decentralized platforms alike. Fazel emphasized that the hacked wallet was not part of SwissBorg’s main custody infrastructure, and only interacted with a third-party protocol for the $SOL-based yield strategy.
Attack Isolated to External DeFi Wallet
According to the official update, the hack affected an external DeFi wallet connected to the Solana-based yield earning feature. This wallet was used to interact with decentralized finance protocols, allowing users to earn returns on their $SOL holdings.
The breach, however, did not penetrate SwissBorg’s internal systems or compromise its broader infrastructure. Fazel clarified that the loss is limited and does not pose any risk to platform operations or to user assets not involved in the $SOL Earn strategy.
SwissBorg has launched a full investigation into the exploit and is working with partners to track the stolen funds and assess next steps.
SwissBorg Reaffirms Platform Security
This incident highlights the risks of integrating DeFi services with centralized platforms. While SwissBorg offers users exposure to high-yield opportunities, it also underscores the importance of transparency and due diligence when leveraging external protocols.
SwissBorg reiterated its commitment to user fund safety, stating that additional layers of security and improved risk assessment measures will be rolled out moving forward.
Users who were not participating in the $SOL Earn strategy remain entirely unaffected, and the platform continues to operate normally.
