According to on-chain investigator Eye, DxSale is suspected of withdrawing approximately $7.3 million from some of its early liquidity pools locked on BNB Chain since 2021—impacting over 1,400 LPs. Eye stated that the attack involved silent ownership transfers and over 80 wallet hops. Eye noted that the newly used wallet address in the attack received 104 BNB from Bybit 20 hours prior to the liquidity pool withdrawal, and subsequently received approximately 1,200 BNB after the funds were withdrawn from the liquidity pools. Thereafter, this address transferred roughly 3,400 BNB in total to two wallets, with the related funds already withdrawn via multiple Binance deposit addresses.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), SlowMist’s threat intelligence system MistEye has detected a cross-registry supply chain attack targeting developers. Malicious packages have spread across three major registries—npm, PyPI, and Crates.io—comprising over 34 malicious packages and more than 384 related versions. The attack targets developer communities in cryptocurrency, DeFi, Solana, Sui/Move, and AI. It may lead to the theft of cryptocurrency wallets, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub/AWS tokens, browser data, and other sensitive developer information. Some malicious payloads also attempt persistence via mechanisms including `.cursorrules`, `CLAUDE.md`, Git hooks, cron, systemd, and SSH. SlowMist recommends immediately removing affected packages, isolating compromised systems, rotating exposed credentials, rebuilding CI environments and developer machines from clean images, and conducting comprehensive reviews of GitHub, cloud, SSH, and wallet-related activities.
Odaily News: Blockaid posted on platform X, stating that its vulnerability detection system has discovered an attack on the Verus Ethereum cross-chain bridge, which has so far caused losses of approximately $11.58 million.
on-chain analyst Specter stated that the hijacking incidents of investor Keith Gill, Matt Furie, and WinRAR accounts on the X platform are all linked to the same hacker organization. This organization has accumulated over $14 million in profits by hijacking accounts to promote tokens and conducting cross-chain money laundering, with funds flowing through five chains: Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Tron, and Hyperliquid.Specter claims the organization may also be connected to a $2.45 million wstETH phishing attack in 2024. The investigation found that hackers used compromised accounts to issue Pepe imitation tokens, incorporating a built-in 2% automatic fee mechanism to generate profits; related fund flows are associated with the bnbshare.fun platform and multiple Solana, Tron, and Ethereum addresses. Analysis also showed that several tokens (including USOR, VDOR, DROID, WCOR, UGOR) were used to inflate market caps before being dumped to zero.
Odaily Chainalysis posted on X platform, stating that prior to the THORChain theft, wallets suspected to be linked to the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several consecutive weeks. As early as late April, the attacker-associated wallets deposited funds into Hyperliquid positions via Hyperliquid and the Monero privacy bridge. These funds were subsequently converted to USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, then bridged to Ethereum. Some of the ETH was then moved to THORChain to stake as RUNE for a newly joined node, which is believed to be the source of the attack.Subsequently, the attacker bridged a portion of the RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four chains. One chain went directly to the attacker, passing through intermediate wallets before transferring 8 ETH to the wallet that would ultimately receive the stolen funds, just 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three chains flowed in reverse. Between May 14 and 15, these wallets bridged the ETH back to Arbitrum again, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero via the same privacy bridge, with the final transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack commenced. As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds remain untouched, but the attacker has demonstrated sophisticated cross-chain money laundering capabilities. The Hyperliquid to Monero path may be the next move.
following the $292 million exploit of Kelp DAO's LayerZero bridge, the security of cross-chain infrastructure has once again come under scrutiny. DeFi protocols Kelp DAO, Solv Protocol, Re, and crypto exchange Kraken have all taken similar migration measures, with the total value of this outflow reaching approximately $4 billion.Decentralized finance protocol Lombard has become the latest project to join the migration wave, announcing a gradual phase-out of LayerZero and the migration of over $1 billion in Bitcoin collateral assets to Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Bitcoin-related tokens issued by Lombard include LBTC and BTC.b. It is reported that Lombard's initial migration assets cover the Solana, Etherlink, Berachain, Corn, and TAC chains, while the use of LayerZero on Morph and Swell will also be terminated. As of now, LayerZero has not responded to requests for comment. (CoinDesk)
According to Odaily, THORChain has issued an emergency announcement stating that after discovering a suspected breach of an Asgard vault, the network has suspended trading operations to respond to the security incident. Preliminary information indicates that user funds remain unaffected, with losses primarily concentrated on the protocol's own capital.The official statement noted that the system automatically detected anomalous behavior and halted signing operations, thereby alerting the community and preventing further asset outflow. The investigation is currently ongoing to determine the root cause of the vulnerability and the full scope of the impact.Known information indicates that this incident involves one of the six Asgard vaults, with estimated losses of approximately $10.7 million. Meanwhile, staked RUNE on the affected nodes has been slashed due to a penalty mechanism triggered by unauthorized outgoing transactions. The network has paused churn operations and delayed the launch of new chains and related features until system stability is restored.THORChain stated that no user cross-chain transactions have been affected so far and has requested node operators to thoroughly inspect their infrastructure, secure key management, and anomalous behavior, and to submit relevant logs to assist the investigation.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), THORChain has been hacked, resulting in losses of approximately $10 million in crypto assets, including 36.75 BTC (around $3 million) and roughly $7 million in assets from BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Base.
OpenAI has confirmed a supply chain attack targeting a malicious TanStack NPM package in its internal environment, infecting two employees' devices. While user data and core code were not affected, the attackers stole access credentials for some internal code repositories, including code signing certificates used for iOS, macOS, and Windows products.To prevent hackers from exploiting the stolen certificates to distribute counterfeit applications, OpenAI has initiated defensive certificate rotation and announced that all macOS users of ChatGPT desktop, Codex, and Atlas browsers must upgrade to the latest version by June 12, 2026. After this deadline, old certificates will be revoked, and system-level blocks will prevent the launch of older versions and new installations.OpenAI stated that the company had previously deployed stricter code package blocking policies, but the infected devices had not yet synchronized the latest configuration, allowing the malicious component to successfully infiltrate. Currently, the iOS and Windows clients are unaffected, and core data such as user account passwords and API keys have been confirmed secure.
Kraken announced on X platform that Chainlink CCIP will become the sole cross-chain infrastructure for kBTC and future wrapped assets, replacing the original LayerZero protocol. This decision followed last month's $292 million LayerZero cross-chain bridge exploit incident at Kelp.Currently, a total of over $3 billion in total value locked has migrated from LayerZero. The migration covers blockchains including Ethereum, Ink, Unichain, and Optimism. The current market cap of kBTC is approximately $260 million. Kraken stated that it will continue to be responsible for the issuance and custody of assets, while Chainlink CCIP will handle cross-chain asset transfers. (coindesk)
Odaily Odaily News Gate Research recently released its "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, indicating that the overall cryptocurrency market saw a volatile upward trend in April, with total market capitalization significantly higher than in March. BTC and ETH ETF trading volumes maintained high volatility overall. The report shows continued divergence in activity across major public chain ecosystems. Solana's daily transaction volume remained in the range of approximately 90 million to 110 million transactions, maintaining its leading position.Regarding trending sectors, the report notes that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing on-chain RWA sub-sectors, entering a second explosive growth phase in April. Major trading platforms saw monthly trading volumes exceed $220 million, with weekly revenue briefly approaching $6 million, setting new historical records. Meanwhile, Aave experienced its most severe liquidity crisis ever in April, with TVL outflows reaching tens of billions of dollars within a few days and net outflows exceeding $9 billion for the entire month.In terms of fundraising and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed 51 financing rounds in April, totaling approximately $834 million, with capital further concentrating on leading financial and infrastructure tracks. Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million financing round. On the security front, Web3 security incidents in April resulted in losses of approximately $306 million, a month-over-month increase of about 858%, primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack on Kelp DAO worth approximately $293 million. The report suggests that against the backdrop of a recovering market, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols remain worthy of continued attention.
TAC stated that its cross-chain layer on the TON side was exploited by external attackers, resulting in approximately $2.8 million in losses involving USDT, BLUM, and tsTON. TAC confirmed that the TAC token, TON, and all ERC-20 tokens bridged from Ethereum remain unaffected. The bridge has been temporarily suspended, and the team is conducting forensic analysis and implementing fixes. Additionally, the team plans to legally structure a sale of the foundation’s TAC token treasury reserves to restore bridge liquidity and compensate affected users. A post-mortem report and further details will be released within the next 48 hours.
Sky (formerly MakerDAO) announced on X that the cross-chain bridging of USDS OFT on the Solana network, which was suspended due to the security review of the rsETH vulnerability incident, has resumed operation.Sky emphasized that during the review, its USDS-related contracts and the protocol itself were not affected. USDS has always maintained a fully overcollateralized state as designed, which can be verified in real-time on-chain. The suspension was a precautionary security measure. Currently, the bridging function on the Solana side has been reopened, while the Avalanche-related bridging will resume after further review is completed.
Syndicate announced on X platform that, regarding the latest developments in the Syndicate bridge security incident, all affected SYND holders on Commons Chain have been fully compensated, and have received an additional 15% payout on top of their total losses. The relevant funds have been sent directly to the affected users' Base chain wallets, with gas fees covered by Syndicate Labs. This compensation totals 12.901 million SYND, and no claim page operation is required.
Ekubo Protocol officially stated on the X platform that an active security incident has been identified in the Ekubo Swap Router contract on EVM chains. The impact is limited to EVM chains, with LPs unaffected; Starknet is also unaffected. The team is investigating the scope of the issue, but as a safety precaution, users are advised to revoke all approvals.
According to The Block, Kelp DAO will abandon LayerZero and adopt Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as its cross-chain infrastructure, along with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard. Previously, in April, Kelp DAO suffered a cross-chain bridge attack totaling approximately $292 million; the attackers are suspected to be linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group and exploited the single-validator configuration of the LayerZero-powered OFT cross-chain bridge to steal 116,500 rsETH. Chainlink states that its CCIP requires at least 16 independent node operators to validate cross-chain transactions.
Syndicate Labs disclosed a security incident: an attacker compromised the system through a private key leak and maliciously upgraded the cross-chain bridge contracts on two chains, leading to the transfer of approximately 18.5 million SYND and about $50,000 in user assets. The attack originated from a compromised development endpoint. The attacker exploited production environment permissions to upgrade the bridge contracts to a malicious version, but other chains were unaffected. The losses include:Commons Bridge: Approximately 18.5 million SYND were transferred and sold, worth roughly $330,000.Another Appchain: Approximately $50,000 in user assets were transferred.Syndicate Labs stated that affected SYND holders will receive full compensation, along with additional excess compensation, leaving their overall holdings higher than before the incident. Affected users on the Appchain will also be fully reimbursed for their losses.
According to CertiK, Syndicate Protocol suffered an exploit due to a security breach in the Commons cross-chain bridge. The attacker exploited the vulnerability to acquire approximately 18.5 million SYND tokens, which were subsequently sold for roughly $330,000. The related funds have already been transferred to the Ethereum network via the cross-chain bridge. Syndicate’s official response states that it is investigating the security incident involving the Commons bridge. The team is tracking the attack and collaborating with security firms. It is also evaluating various options to compensate affected users. Syndicate holds sufficient token reserves to assist users who lost SYND.
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 an official announcement, ZetaChain stated that its GatewayEVM contract was attacked today, with the impact limited solely to internal wallets controlled by the ZetaChain team. The official statement confirmed that the attack vector has been blocked and no further funds are currently at risk. As a precautionary measure, ZetaChain has suspended cross-chain transactions. Meanwhile, the investigation remains ongoing; according to the official statement, no user funds have been affected by this incident, and a detailed post-mortem report will be released upon completion of the investigation.
