Jupiter Team Member Addresses Security Incident:

Just Josh, a member of the Jupiter team, posted on X: "I am the engineer responsible for building the Jupiter Value Average (VA) and Ape programs. On September 13th, both the Value Average and Ape programs were forcibly shut down by an unauthorized user who gained access to my private keys used for program deployment. Platform user funds were not compromised, but the shutdown of these programs made all related functionalities inaccessible. We immediately restored platform functionality and all user balances, and conducted a comprehensive security review. If you have any missing tokens or issues, please ask in Discord. This issue only affected Ape and VA, as they are newer programs that may require frequent updates. All other Jupiter programs are unaffected and will not be affected by similar reasons. I deeply apologize for this incident. The team tasked me with quickly resolving all issues related to these programs and upgrading them to multi-sig, but I did not complete this in a timely manner. One of the main reasons for this incident was that both the Ape and VA programs could be upgraded via a single private key. All other Jupiter programs, except these two newer ones, require multi-sig for any program upgrades. To prevent similar incidents in the future, all Jupiter programs, once utilized by users, will require multi-sig for any program upgrade, in addition to undergoing multiple third-party professional audits. If you have any questions/concerns, please contact us through Discord."
