Wu Shuo learned from ZachXBT’s disclosure that an early whale address belonging to the Solana genesis block allocation was stolen a few hours ago, with losses reaching 180,900 SOL (about $14.2 million). The investigation shows that the whale address recently displayed abnormal un-staking behavior, and after getting away with the funds, the hacker is transferring the funds from the Solana chain to the Ethereum network through cross-chain bridges.

Were the early whale’s unstaking activities being monitored? The hacker timed their move a little too perfectly.
