Following ZachXBT's publication, Noones CEO Ray Youssef issued a statement. He confirmed that the bridge of the Solana network asset movement platform was attacked on January 1, but internal security was quick to contain the threat.

He assured users that their funds and personal data are safe, but noted that Noones will not bring back Solana support for now.
