What happened with the domain of Bonk (bonk.fun) is a clear case of hijacking + a fairly recent phishing/drainer attack 👇
🔴 What exactly happened
The domain bonk.fun was compromised by hackers after taking control of an account from the team. �
CoinDesk +1
With that access, they modified the official site to show a fake version. �
TradingView
They inserted a malicious script (“wallet drainer”) designed to empty crypto wallets. �
CoinDesk +1
⚠️ How the scam worked
The site displayed a message like 'accept the terms'.
In reality, by signing that: 👉 you authorized the attacker to move your funds. �
TradingView
👥 Who was affected
Only users who entered during the hack and signed the fake message lost funds. �
MEXC
If you used the platform before or through third parties, you were not affected. �
TradingView
🧠 Important to understand
It was NOT a hack on the blockchain (Solana)
It was an attack on the web infrastructure (domain/DNS + frontend) �
Bitcoin Territory
👉 This is key: the crypto technology may be intact, but if the website goes down, users are still exposed.
📉 Impact
There were losses (some users reported total wallet drain). �
TradingView
The damage was limited because the team alerted quickly. �
MEXC
🚨 Recommendation (very important)
If you interacted with that domain on those days:
Revoke permissions from your wallet (Revoke.cash or another)
Move funds to a new wallet
Never sign 'strange' messages on websites
