ChainThink report, November 2, according to a message posted by Solana Mobile on the X platform, a malicious third-party application named "SKR Claim" was submitted to the Solana DApp Store and requested users to input their mnemonic phrases.

The attackers had unauthorized access to the DApp publishing portal, modifying the App Spotlight and Quests interfaces. The application was taken down approximately one hour after its display and is currently being removed from already installed devices.

Solana Mobile has patched the vulnerability that allowed links to apps not fully published, and reminds users that it will never request mnemonic phrases or encrypted assets, nor require users to connect wallets to claim airdrops.
