Exchange, bridge, and protocol breaches where funds were stolen — incident reports and post-mortems.
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.
Hundreds of dormant Ethereum mainnet wallets moved to a single address in a coordinated drain, while ETH trades below every short-term moving average and the 200-day at $2,755 flashes a sell signal.
The record counts both raw dollars and incident count, and the dollar figure only excludes the February 2025 Bybit event — context that frames the month as the worst stretch for protocol security…
The first-ever 9-of-12 emergency multi-sig execution on a major L2 sets a precedent the rest of DeFi will now have to argue about.
Wasabi Protocol has suffered a $4.5 million loss in what appears to be an admin key compromise, allowing an attacker to…

The contracts held — the bridge didn't. Aave V3 lost $4B of usable liquidity in 29 hours, and WETH utilization hit 100% in under 90 minutes before the Protocol Guardian stepped in.
The KelpDAO rsETH exploit pulled $12B+ from Aave, and a cross-chain rescue — Solana lending USDT, AAVE going multi-chain — is now the recovery's defining bet.
No user funds were lost and a patch is already live, but a 13-block reorg on a top-20 PoW chain is the kind of event miners, exchanges, and custody providers will be reading closely for weeks.
About 4,500 BTC are reportedly inaccessible after private keys vanished with the missing co-founder, withdrawals are halted, and losses could top $100M as Polish authorities open criminal probes.
