Illustration: TradeWiz Lost $459,000 Across 20,933 Solana Wallets; the Taker Had an Account

Leaked private keys emptied 20,933 TradeWiz wallets on Solana of about $459,000[1]. The keys did the moving, not the holders[1].

Bitquery’s investigation says the wallet that took the money had traded through TradeWiz a month before[2]. A month earlier, on the same app, the account that took the money was already open[2]. That is the trace: a month between the trade and the take[2].

What to do: move remaining funds out of any wallet whose key sat in TradeWiz. The leaked keys already emptied 20,933 of them[1].

Who gains, who loses

Leaked private keys emptied 20,933 TradeWiz wallets on Solana of about $459,000 [][1] the taker gains the balances; 20,933 Solana traders lose them with no trade and no approval to point at.
The wallet that took the money had traded through TradeWiz a month earlier [][2] holders gain one checkable link between the app and the take; TradeWiz loses the benefit of the doubt on its key handling.
