Memecoin launcher pump.fun claims ex-employee behind $1.9M exploit
Pump.fun said its smart contracts are safe and impacted users will receive “100% of the liquidity” that it previously had within the next 24 hours.
Solana memecoin creation tool pump.fun has claimed a former employee exploited the firm for nearly $2 million through a “bonding curve” attack.
The ex-employee used their “privileged position” to access a “withdraw authority” and compromise the protocol’s internal systems, pump.fun alleged in a May 16 X post.
About $1.9 million was stolen from the total $45 million held in pump.fun’s bonding curve contracts.
