The incident resulted in Solana funds being improperly removed from the wallet used for staking operations. Upon detection, SwissBorg and Kiln immediately activated an incident response plan, contained the activity, and engaged our security partners. SwissBorg has paused Solana staking transactions on the platform to ensure no other customers are impacted.
