The hack, which was discovered between November 25 and November 27, led Pump Science to issue a series of warnings to users via X (formerly Twitter). The platform changed the name of the Pump profile. It’s fun to “don’t trust” to warn users not to buy new tokens.
Pump Science spokesperson Benji Leibowitz acknowledged the seriousness of the incident during the AMA session on November 27, assuring users that the platform would no longer distribute tokens on Pump.fun.
While Pump Science pointed to Solana-based BuilderZ for revealing the private key, they explained that they did not believe they were the culprits. Instead, they suspect the hacker may be connected to third parties.
