Solflare halts staking rewards after security incident at external provider

Staking reward payments on Solana wallet Solflare have been suspended after a private key-related security incident at an external staking service provider, Crypto Briefing reported. The incident means Solflare validators can no longer earn new rewards or distribute them to users who delegated stake. User assets were not affected, according to the report. Solflare said delegated SOL remains in each user’s staking account and users still retain control of their assets. The incident occurred in the external provider’s key management process, not in user wallets.
