Team Emphasizes Minimal Losses

Bonk operator Tom (@SolportTom) recently explained the incident. He stated that hackers hijacked the team’s account and forcibly embedded a cryptocurrency draining software (Drainer) into the domain. Tom further mentioned that only users who inadvertently signed a “fake service agreement” on the Bonk website are at risk of losing funds.

However, he emphasized that the team detected the abnormal activity immediately, and the actual losses caused by this attack are minimal. Tom said:

We understand how panicked everyone is right now; it’s human nature. But rest assured, the team is doing everything possible to fix this vulnerability.

As of writing, Bonk.fun’s official channels have not released further updates on the incident.

AI Fuels Scam Surge! Cryptocurrency Losses in 2025 Exceed $17 Billion

In recent years, with rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the proliferation of wallet draining tools, phishing attacks in the crypto space have become more rampant and sophisticated. Hackers now prefer methods such as domain hijacking, impersonation, and social engineering to directly steal users’ trust.

According to a Chainalysis report, the total global losses from cryptocurrency scams in 2025 have soared to an astonishing $17 billion. The report also warns that these large-scale scams are becoming increasingly industrialized at an observable rate.
