Jupiter team members: VA and Ape programs were recently shut down by unauthorized users and have now been restored
Just Josh, a member of the Jupiter team, posted on X: "I am the engineer responsible for building Jupiter's Value Average (VA) and Ape programs.
On September 13, both the Value Average and Ape programs were forcibly shut down by an unauthorized user who obtained the private key I used for program deployment. Platform user funds were not compromised, but the shutdown of these programs rendered all functions related to them inaccessible.
We immediately restored platform functionality and all user balances, and conducted a full security review. If you have lost tokens or questions, please feel free to ask in Discord.
This issue concerns only Ape and VA, as they are newer programs and may require frequent updates. All other Jupiter programs are unaffected and will not be affected for similar reasons.
I am very sorry for this incident. The team entrusted me to quickly resolve all issues related to these programs and upgrade the program to multi-sign, but I did not complete it in time.
One of the main reasons for this event is that both Ape and VA programs can be upgraded with a single private key. Except for these two newer programs, all other Jupiter programs require multiple signatures for any program upgrade.
In order to prevent similar events from happening in the future, all Jupiter programs, once used by users, require multiple signatures for any program upgrade, in addition to passing multiple third-party professional audits.
If you have any questions/concerns, please contact us via Discord. "
