  • DEXX users suffer significant losses from unauthorized token transfers.
  • CertiK identifies improper private key management on the Solana chain as the core issue.
  • DEXX collaborates with audit teams, denying rug pull allegations, while OneKey hints at clipboard vulnerabilities.

DEXX, a meme coin trading terminal, is at the center of a major security breach that has left users grappling with significant losses. Reports indicate that unauthorized token transfers drained $16.79 million in user funds. BAN and LUCE tokens suffered the most substantial losses, with $3.45 million and $1.75 million lost, respectively.

The DEXX team acknowledged the issue via a public statement, assuring users that the situation does not involve a rug pull. They have enlisted multiple professional security audit teams to identify and resolve the vulnerability. The team also noted that updates on the progress will be communicated through in-app notifications and social media platforms, including X and Telegram.

CertiK Highlights Private Key Mismanagement

CertiK, the leading blockchain security auditor, confirmed receiving help requests from affected users. Their investigation revealed that the core issue was improper private key management, which led to the exposure of DEXX’s official private key.

CertiK clarified that the compromised system resides on the Solana blockchain , which was outside the scope of their earlier audits for DEXX. The firm emphasized the critical need for robust private key security to safeguard user assets and pledged to monitor the situation closely.

Speculation and User Concerns

Adding to the complexity, OneKey, a hardware wallet provider, suggested that DEXX might have inadvertently uploaded users’ clipboard content, potentially exposing sensitive information. This claim has added fuel to the speculation about operational lapses within the platform.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the crypto community, with many questioning the platform’s security protocols and the role of third-party auditors. DEXX’s assertion of its audited status has drawn criticism, particularly as the breach revealed glaring vulnerabilities in private key management.
