Summary

Sentry was involved in a Solana hack on August 2nd, 2022, where approximately 9,321 wallets were drained of their cryptocurrency. The parties investigating the attack speculate that Sentry's self-hosted, open source product may have been compromised by a vulnerability in the software. However, there is no indication that Sentry's SaaS product or infrastructure was involved in this attack. Sentry has taken steps to help prevent similar instances, including scrubbing common dataforms from data sent to their platform. The company is conducting its own investigation and invites users to provide information on easily identifiable patterns that could be helpful in preventing future incidents.
