Summary

The official website for Bonk.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad, was compromised by an unauthorized individual who gained control of the domain, leading to a security breach.

The platform announced the hijacking on X, warning users not to interact with the site. The operator, known as Tom (SolportTom), clarified that hackers forced a "drainer on the domain" by hijacking a team account, affecting only users who signed a fake terms-of-service message.
