The platform's wallet-to-wallet model sidesteps the pooled-custody attack surface that drained KelpDAO, Drift, and Grinex in a single quarter.
The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly a fifth of global oil shipments; a direct US-Iran kinetic exchange there is the risk-off macro shock markets have been pricing as tail.
A single operator, 60 retail victims, and a commodity pool the agency says never existed as advertised. The case is small in dollar terms but textbook in registration and reporting failures.
Treasury drains via simple on-chain vote have moved from theoretical to routine, and the Bonk memecoin community is the latest proof that low voter turnout is the real attack surface.
A venture-backed EVM chain for the TON and Telegram stack just lost nine-tenths of its value in the span of a quarter-hour, putting its backers and Binance Alpha listing under the microscope.
Pump.fun weekly volume just cleared $5B for the first time since March, but the same sniper-and-bundler mechanics that drove the last cycle are already re-activating.
The figure represents Bitcoin held in legacy address types vulnerable to a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, framing a long-tail threat still years away from capability.
Bridge hacks and flash-loan drains are fading, but a single logic flaw in an AI-driven DeFi protocol can now cascade across six chains at once.
Strategy's first major BTC sale since 2020 met a muted market, while a $12K HyperSwap airdrop scam and a $20M BONK treasury exploit marked a sharp day for DeFi security.
A quorum that cleared by 0.3% of supply handed an attacker 99.9% of one vote and 4.43 trillion BONK tokens, the cheapest legal theft the sector has seen.
The profit margin is what stings: roughly $4.4M of spot buying on Bybit and Binance bought just enough quorum to pass a self-serving proposal and walk away with 4.426T $BONK.
A $4M vote-buy blitz executed through a proposal sat dormant for six days, then drained roughly $20M in BONK from the DAO treasury, exposing how thin voting power in a memecoin governance can be.
The exploit rode a passed proposal through BonkDAO's own voting mechanism, a structural hit that turns governance itself into the attack surface.
The Blockstream CEO told BTC Prague that Bitcoin markets still repeat centuries-old fraud patterns, and that separating custody from exchange solvency is the lesson the industry keeps dodging.
The $6M loss is a third of the protocol's TVL; the accounting-logic flaw and the unpaused window before guardians acted will get equal scrutiny from audit shops and depositors.
A $65M flash loan inflated a redemption to $70.9M and walked away with $6M, a textbook manipulation of the Lazy Summer Protocol's smart contracts.
The DeFi lending protocol lost just over $6M in a single exploit, the latest in a string of mid-cap DeFi venues taken down by attackers in 2025.
The disclosure gap is the real story: a UK political figure accepting unreported hospitality from someone tied to a convicted fraud strand that runs through a crypto casino.
The attack is hitting a yield-aggregator specifically built for institutional-grade vault infrastructure, putting fresh attention on the security stack behind DeFi's automated strategies.
A public prediction-market wallet lost 11 of 15 World Cup positions, posting a 26.7% win rate and a single ticket down nearly $5M, the kind of retail drawdown prediction markets rarely surface so…
