Vulnerabilities of the Solana Blockchain

Solana 區塊鏈的漏洞

This incident highlights the vulnerabilities inherent to the Solana blockchain, which has previously been targeted by scams. The structure of Solana's token accounts allows attackers to reassign asset ownership with a single missed command, leaving funds irrecoverable. In addition, its one-step transaction approval mechanism facilitates irreversible losses if a malicious transaction is authorized.

這起事件凸顯了 Solana 區塊鏈固有的漏洞，該區塊鏈先前一直是詐騙的目標。 Solana 代幣帳戶的結構允許攻擊者透過一個錯過的命令重新分配資產所有權，從而使資金無法收回。此外，其一步式的交易審批機制，如果惡意交易被授權，將導致不可挽回的損失。

The platform's ability to group multiple sub-transactions into one approval exacerbates the risk of concealed theft. Scammers also exploit Solana's Durable Nonce feature to delay the execution of fraudulent operations, bypassing alerts and catching victims off guard.

該平台能夠將多個子交易分組為一個批准，這加劇了隱蔽盜竊的風險。詐騙者也利用 Solana 的持久隨機數功能來延遲詐欺操作的執行，繞過警報，讓受害者措手不及。

Users' lack of awareness about these unique operational risks makes Solana a prime target for scams.

使用者對這些獨特的操作風險缺乏認識，使得 Solana 成為詐騙的主要目標。
