Incidents on record
- 2024-09-19: Telegram message oracle exploit. Attackers manually drained about $3M from 11 users' bot wallets. Banana Gun traced it to a vulnerability in the Telegram message oracle it used, paused its EVM and Solana bots, patched, added a two-hour transfer delay and 2FA for transfers, and refunded all affected users from its treasury.
