According to Dark Web Informer, the decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket is suspected of having been hacked. The threat actor “xorcat” posted over 300,000 data records and a corresponding exploit toolkit on a well-known cybercrime forum. The data extraction occurred on April 27, 2026. Reportedly, the attacker extracted data via an undisclosed API endpoint, pagination bypasses, and misconfigured CORS settings in Polymarket Gamma and the CLOB API. The leaked data includes: - Full personal information for 10,000 users (including names, proxy wallets, and base addresses); - 4,111 comments; - 1,000 moderation reports (including 58 ETH addresses and administrator authentication address identifiers); - Metadata for 48,536 Gamma markets; - Constant-product market maker addresses for over 250,000 active CLOB markets; and - Social graph data for 9,000 followers.

According to an official announcement by Puffer Finance, the liquid staking protocol Puffer Finance has allocated treasury funds to Aave’s DeFi United program to demonstrate its support for infrastructure development. Puffer Finance stated that, as a liquid staking protocol centered on security, it believes robust infrastructure and consistent incentive mechanisms are fundamental to ensuring DeFi’s resilience during critical moments. The protocol also emphasized that DeFi is a vital component of the modern financial system, and industry participants should compete constructively, continuously build infrastructure, and maintain coordination during critical times.
According to an official announcement by Tropykus, the decentralized lending protocol Tropykus has initiated a phased shutdown of its current protocol version. Deposit and lending functionalities will be permanently discontinued. Users may withdraw funds and repay loans via tropykus.com until the deadline of July 27, 2026; thereafter, such operations will only be supported through direct interaction with smart contracts. The team stated that this shutdown decision stems from long-term strategic evolution—not from the security report previously received by Money on Chain, a partner of Tropykus. That report had prompted the protocol to proactively suspend deposits and new lending activities. However, the team emphasized that internal discussions regarding the shutdown predated the security incident, and the incident merely accelerated the decision. Technically, the team noted that the original architecture was designed for an earlier technological environment and is no longer capable of meeting long-term development needs in the face of emerging security challenges posed by technologies such as artificial intelligence. The team advises all users to complete withdrawals and settle their lending positions via tropykus.com before July 27, 2026. After this date, users will need technical proficiency to interact directly with smart contracts to perform these operations.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), a user’s Alchemix Yearn yvVault position (token $yvWETH) was attacked, resulting in an estimated loss of approximately $1 million. The root cause of the attack lies in the user’s prior approval grant to an unverified contract (contract address: 0x143a), deployed 10 days ago. Reverse-engineering analysis revealed that this contract contains a vulnerability enabling arbitrary call execution. Exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker successfully transferred the victim’s yvVault position. PeckShield has now publicly disclosed the specific logic of this vulnerability. Users are advised to review and revoke token approvals granted to unknown or unverified contracts to mitigate asset risks.
According to CBC News, the Canadian federal government has announced plans to implement a nationwide ban on cryptocurrency ATMs to protect the public from fraudsters. This measure was formally proposed in the government’s spring economic update, which characterizes cryptocurrency ATMs as “a primary tool used by fraudsters to deceive victims and by criminals to launder money.” Cryptocurrency ATMs allow users to deposit cash and exchange it for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which are then transferred to any digital wallet worldwide. CBC News’ prior investigative report, “Feeding Fraud,” revealed that these machines have become the main channel through which fraudsters in Canada obtain victims’ funds. Canada’s financial intelligence agency, FINTRAC, reached the same conclusion in its February 2023 analytical report. Canada currently has the highest number of cryptocurrency ATMs per capita globally—nearly 4,000 units nationwide—yet still lacks industry-specific regulatory legislation. The government stated that, following implementation of the ban, the public will still be able to purchase virtual currencies through physical money service businesses.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent posted on X platform, stating that through economic sanctions, the Treasury has taken action against Iran's international shadow banking infrastructure, cryptocurrency access channels, shadow fleet, weapons procurement network, regional terrorist proxies' funding, and Chinese independent refineries supporting Iran's oil trade. These actions have disrupted hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues that could have been used to finance terrorism. Under the US President's maximum pressure campaign, Tehran's inflation rate has doubled, and its currency has depreciated rapidly. Iran's main oil export terminal, Kharg Island, is nearing its storage capacity limits, which will force the regime to cut oil production, resulting in an additional daily loss of approximately $170 million in revenue and causing permanent damage to Iran's oil infrastructure. The Treasury will continue to apply maximum pressure, and any individuals, vessels, or entities assisting Tehran's illicit flows face the risk of US sanctions.
the Canadian federal government announced in its spring economic update released on Tuesday a plan to ban cryptocurrency ATMs to protect citizens from fraud. The government defined cryptocurrency ATMs as a primary tool used by scammers to defraud victims and by criminals to transfer illicit funds.Previous analysis by FINTRAC showed that cryptocurrency ATMs have become a major channel for scammers to obtain funds from victims in Canada. Since these machines do not require a bank account and lack manual review, funds can be transferred quickly and are difficult to trace. Canada currently has nearly 4,000 cryptocurrency ATMs, ranking first globally in per capita ownership. The Canadian government stated that the measure aims to better protect citizens from illegal activities when purchasing virtual currencies through physical money service businesses. Previously, countries such as the UK, New Zealand, and Australia have implemented restrictions or bans on cryptocurrency ATMs.
