Terrorism-judgment creditors want the same 30,766 ETH that Arbitrum Security Council froze after the $292M Kelp DAO exploit — setting up a legal fight days before a vote to route the funds to victims.
Arbitrum's governance has voted to unfreeze $71 million in ETH as part of emergency containment measures following a…
A single exploit drained $292 million from DeFi protocols, reigniting a debate that the industry has deferred too long…
The scale — 500+ wallets, some untouched for years — suggests something beyond a single-point exploit; the on-chain trail points to a shared compromise vector still under investigation.
Over 500 long-idle wallets — some four to eight years cold — were swept into a tagged phishing address, and the compromise path remains unresolved as April's $635M exploit tally closes.
