Exchange, bridge, and protocol breaches where funds were stolen — incident reports and post-mortems.
The allegations revive scrutiny of how Terra-linked traders coordinated in the run-up to the $40B wipeout, and what regulators knew in real time.
Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB), working alongside Europol, has secured approximately 500 BTC believed to be…
On-chain data from HypurrScan shows whale address 0xde42 sold 50,000 $HYPE tokens worth approximately $2.41 million…
Coinbase's $8.7M security tab for Brian Armstrong and Gemini's $400K monthly Winklevoss protection deal show how the physical-safety premium on crypto leadership is now a line item.
An admin key leak let an attacker mint unbacked eBTC on Monad; the team's $816K loss is contained, but a 955-eBTC burn and an active phishing warning mean the cleanup is not over.
A compromised admin key let the attacker mint 1,000 unauthorised eBTC and launder proceeds through Tornado Cash — the latest in a string of mega-exploits now totaling hundreds of millions across DeFi.
A 1,000 $eBTC mint for free, a cross-chain bridge hit, and a THORChain swap drain — the pattern of cheap, repeatable exploits is what should worry protocols running live TVL.
The attacker minted 1,000 eBTC out of thin air on Monad, drained $867K in WBTC from Curvance, and routed the proceeds through Tornado Cash — with $73.2M in unlaundered eBTC still sitting in the…
The attacker walked away with 103.6 tBTC, 1,625 ETH, and 147K USDC — and has already consolidated the haul into a single 5,402 ETH wallet.
Borrowing caps are back on, but the exploit funneled the borrowed ETH through a sanctioned mixer — the borrowing-market plumbing is patched, the regulatory tail is not.
A $3.7M breach in April was the final blow to a business model the operator says regulators had already made unsustainable — the largest US BTM operator is now exiting.
The attack drained 103.6 tBTC, 1,625 ETH, and 147K USDC — small next to April's $293M Kelp DAO hit, but it confirms Phemex's pattern read: bridge and cross-chain messaging rails, not smart contracts,…
Blockaid flags the cross-chain bridge as still actively draining, with Peckshield tallying the loss in tBTC, ETH, and USDC so far.
The breach lands on a small-cap altcoin bridge, but the laundering path through ETH is the same playbook used in higher-profile 2024–2025 cross-chain exploits — and it raises fresh questions about…
An ongoing attack on the Verus-Ethereum bridge has pulled roughly $11.58M out so far, with Blockaid's exploit detection catching the live drain rather than a post-mortem tally.
After $16.5B in cumulative DeFi exploits, the latest THORChain incident is forcing protocols toward the centralised-style controls they once resisted — Aave's rsETH bad debt is the canary.
DeFi lending protocols have lost $7.7B to exploits since 2020, yet coverage sits at 0.14% of TVL — users keep chasing yield while the sector's own insurance stack shares the same vulnerabilities as…
The contracts worked exactly as written — the problem was operational. As shared bridge infrastructure concentrates, a single LayerZero-adjacent weakness can cascade across the protocols sitting on…
Two of the world's largest derivatives exchanges are warning that an anonymous crypto perp venue could leak directly into the price of physical oil — a tradFi-on-DeFi contagion thesis regulators…
The capital flight — triggered by April's $292M Kelp DAO exploit — is reshaping the cross-chain bridge market, with Chainlink's CCIP picking up clients and scrutiny that LayerZero once dominated.
