"Golden Finance reports that 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 13th, 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 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, you can ask in Discord.

This issue only affected Ape and VA because they are newer programs that may require frequent updates. All other Jupiter programs were unaffected and are not susceptible to similar causes.

I deeply apologize for this incident. The team entrusted me with quickly resolving any issues related to these programs and upgrading them to multi-signature, but I failed to do so in a timely manner.

One of the main reasons for this incident was that both the Ape and VA programs could be upgraded through a single private key. Aside from these two newer programs, all other Jupiter programs require multi-signatures for any program upgrades.

To prevent similar incidents in the future, all Jupiter programs, once used by users, will require multi-signatures for any program upgrades in addition to multiple third-party professional audits.

If you have any questions/concerns, please contact us via Discord.”"
