On-chain analysts have identified a novel form of attack targeting crypto users — a Bit-flipping attack — which is currently being disseminated among scammers. Cybercriminals employ this method to steal SOL during ongoing transactions.
Blowfish has unveiled a new attack method on crypto users known as the Bit-flipping attack, enabling hackers to alter transaction data after a user has signed it with their private key.

Blowfish analysts discovered that drainers (phishing sites) utilize two new sets of hacking tools — Aqua and Vanish. These malicious scripts take advantage of vulnerabilities within the dApps on the Solana network, allowing attackers to intercept transactions by modifying their content. Victims remain oblivious to the attack for a period, as they sign what seems to be a legitimate transaction.
The Blowfish team also found that these malicious scripts are distributed through the Drainer-as-a-service (DaaS) model on the dark web. Anyone can acquire and utilize them. The company’s analysts confirm that they have developed a defense mechanism to automatically block identified drainers.
Recently, authorities in Singapore issued a warning regarding the active proliferation of commercial Drainer-as-a-service kits among fraudsters, enabling them to deploy malware for the theft of cryptocurrencies.
