The $2M figure is small; the playbook — dormant darknet wallets rotated into physical gold shipped across borders — is what compliance and law-enforcement trackers will read.
The first joint operation of its kind signals how seriously three governments now treat pig-butchering fraud — a category that has funneled billions into illicit crypto rails over the past three…
A7, a ruble-pegged token pitched at sanctioned Russian trade, is now positioning for life after the sanctions regime itself — a hedge that says as much about the project's durability as about the…
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…

A four-chain drain hitting BTC, ETH, BNB and Base layers puts THORChain back on incident-watch — the fourth or fifth security event on a protocol that has been here before.
The pause and the missing post-mortem are the real story: cross-chain bridges have absorbed more than $2.8B in thefts since 2021, and Thorchain has not yet named the attack vector.
On-chain investigator @zachxbt flagged the multi-chain drain minutes after the funds started moving; the $10M mark is a live count and likely to climb as the attacker's wallets are tracked.
On-chain data from HypurrScan shows trader Evaded (@ICanPlug) opened a 1x leveraged long position in $CBRS worth…
The case hinges on a stablecoin-specific legal hook: Tether already froze OFAC-designated Tron wallets, and the plaintiffs want the court to order it to reissue that USDT to terrorism-judgment…
