News linked to both this project and an event.
Odaily News: After a 9-month silence, the X account of renowned artist and Pepe creator Matt Furie became active again in early August, posting content and contract addresses related to HOODRAT, DORK, and BOYZ within a single week. Most of these posts were subsequently deleted. On August 9, the account posted a statement claiming it had been hacked, stating it does not endorse any altcoins, and adding that a relevant notice had previously appeared on its official website. On-chain analyst @StandartXBT noted that after the HOODRAT-related post was published, the token's market cap surged briefly before the price declined; following the DORK deployment, the deployer completed bundled purchases, removed liquidity, and sold off, extracting significant ETH profits from the initial raise. @StandartXBT discovered through web archives that Matt Furie's official website had not previously contained such a notice, and no prior trace was found on the X platform, casting doubt on the credibility of the statement.
According to Specter monitoring, over $7.9 million was stolen from wallets associated with Coinsbuy on Ethereum and TRON, and the attackers subsequently laundered the funds into XMR through exchanges. Coinsbuy stated that, with the support of ChangeNOW, it has successfully frozen stolen funds amounting to up to six figures. Following the incident, Coinsbuy temporarily suspended deposit and withdrawal services, which have now resumed.
Odaily News: According to Onchain Lens monitoring, addresses associated with the Solana OG attacker (0xd229...9D15, 0x501...f051) have transferred 2,290 ETH, worth $4.39 million, to Tornado Cash. This operation occurred nearly a month after the $14.2 million attack incident; the same cluster of addresses also used Tornado Cash two weeks ago.
On-chain data shows that the address labeled as the Aztec attacker has deposited another 300 ETH into Tornado Cash, worth approximately $572,000. To date, the address has transferred a total of 500 ETH to Tornado Cash.
Odaily News On-chain security firm PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert) monitoring shows that the Aztec private Rollup bridge attacker address has deposited 300 ETH, worth approximately $572,100, into Tornado Cash. As of now, the attacker has cumulatively deposited 500 ETH into Tornado Cash.Aztec suffered an attack in June 2026, with total crypto asset losses amounting to $2.165 million.
Odaily News: DefiLlama data shows that hackers stole $247 million in crypto assets in July, making it the second-highest month since 2026, trailing only April's $644 million; this figure represents a significant increase from June's $75 million and May's $60 million. Galaxy Digital stated that the Coldcard vulnerability was the largest attack event of the month, confirming three rounds of attacks involving 7,300 wallets, with at least $100 million in Bitcoin stolen; the firm also identified a suspected fourth round of attacks, which could bring total losses to approximately $130 million. DefiLlama's hack tracker estimates losses related to this vulnerability at $115 million. Other attacks in July include a $9 million exploit on decentralized finance protocol Bonzo Lend, a $2.6 million theft from Cardano-based wallet SecondFi, a $24 million theft from Arbitrum-based perpetual trading platform AFX, and a $7.5 million theft from the Verus Ethereum Bridge.
据链上分析平台 Lookonchain 监测，Jaredfromsubway 事件攻击者在资金操作中出现明显损失。该地址一个月前窃取约 770 万美元 资金后将其兑换为 以太坊，随后以约 1695 美元 的价格卖出 2327 枚以太坊，总价值约 394 万美元；又于约 10 小时前 以约 1912 美元 的价格回购 2063 枚以太坊，同样耗资约 394 万美元。按此计算，其此次操作累计亏损 264 枚以太坊，约合 50.5 万美元。
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), the hacker address that previously attacked the MEV bot Jaredfromsubway.eth and caused over $7.5 million in losses has shown unusual fund activity again after one month. Approximately 10 hours ago, the address used the remaining 2.44 million DAI to buy 1,277 ETH. Analysis suggests that the relevant funds may next be mixed via Tornado Cash, and this asset may also be the hacker's last pending on-chain funds.
Odaily News According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, the hacker who attacked the MEV bot Jaredfromsubway.eth and caused it to lose over $7.5 million spent the final 2.44 million DAI to purchase 1,277 ETH 10 hours ago. This amount represented the hacker's last pending funds on-chain, and the next step may involve mixing the funds through Tornado Cash.
The Ethereum Foundation (EF) is globally recruiting Protocol Security Researchers (Remote Full-time), a role within the Protocol Security team. The team is responsible for identifying and intercepting vulnerabilities before they reach mainnet, with work covering Execution Layer/Consensus Layer security reviews, AI-assisted vulnerability discovery, fuzzing, specification audits, and coordinating vulnerability disclosure. Candidates are required to have deep experience with the Ethereum protocol, be familiar with EL/CL specifications and client implementations, and be proficient in languages such as Go, Rust, Java, C#, Nim, or Python. There are no hard requirements on years of work experience, with technical depth being the core consideration.
Odaily News: On-chain security firm PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert) monitoring shows that an attacker, through controlling address 0x920d…9708, stole approximately 500,000 USDC from a victim wallet 0x3a53…0B5c on the Base chain. However, when the attacker subsequently attempted to swap the USDC into ETH, insufficient slippage protection parameters were set, causing the transaction to be sandwiched and arbitraged by MEV bots. In the end, the attacker only received approximately 67 WETH, valued at around $129,000, meaning the stolen funds suffered a loss rate exceeding 75%.
Odaily News: According to on-chain investigator Specter, the Triple-A attacker converted DAI into 2,620 ETH before depositing funds into Tornado Cash. They have now deposited $4.99 million into Tornado Cash, with 26 deposits into the 100 ETH pool and 2 deposits into the 10 ETH pool. The attacker still holds approximately $6.7 million in DAI.
The Kite Foundation stated that it detected attacks targeting KITE tokens. After the security system discovered abnormal KITE token transfer activity on the Ethereum mainnet, the team immediately initiated the incident response mechanism and suspended KITE token transfers and cross-chain bridging on the Ethereum mainnet. The Foundation stated that the affected tokens have been frozen in place, cannot be transferred, and will not flow into the secondary market. Currently, the scope of the incident is limited to the Ethereum mainnet, and the relevant tokens have not moved since then.
CertiK 表示，其监测系统发现两笔各 200 ETH 的交易转入 Tornado Cash，相关资金与正在进行的 Coldcard Wallet 攻击事件有关。上述资金此前通过 THORChain 由 BTC 跨链转入以太坊地址，随后再被转入 Tornado Cash。
Odaily News: According to monitoring by Galaxy's Head of Research, a victim's Coldcard wallet was compromised in a hacker attack involving nearly 30 BTC, of which 17 BTC were swapped for ETH via THORChain and subsequently deposited into Duel.comcasino. The victim and a researcher have sent emails to all known addresses associated with Duel.comcasino, requesting that the relevant funds be frozen, and provided all transaction and deposit information. The hacker deposited 229.72497255 ETH, valued at $445,000, into Duel.comcasino—funds originating from the Coldcard attack involving approximately 30 BTC. The victim stated that Duel.comcasino responded by saying that the police would need to contact their team. Duel.comcasino's anti-money laundering policy claims it enforces Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and complies with all applicable laws. Duel.comcasino was notified within minutes of the deposit being completed. To date, Duel.comcasino has not frozen the relevant funds. Since most of the Western world had already passed midnight at the time of the incident, police reports cannot be filed until at least Monday. If Duel.comcasino fails to freeze the funds, the victim will pursue legal action against them. Duel.comcasino's X account has been suspended, and Galaxy's Head of Research has also flagged individuals on X suspected of being associated with the platform, including team members and dealers: @korraflow, @atrois7, @MiaMalkova.
: Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview model discovered a flaw in the proposed HAWK digital signature scheme, effectively halving its minimum key strength. HAWK is one of the candidate schemes to replace current network and bank signatures in a post-quantum environment. This AI-driven attack took approximately 60 hours, with a computational cost of around $100,000, reducing the effort required to break HAWK's minimum parameter set from roughly 2^64 operations to 2^38 operations, and diminishing the attractiveness of larger compensating key sizes. Current Bitcoin and Ethereum signatures remain unaffected. The results indicate that the capabilities of classical cryptanalysis attacks are improving, while Bitcoin and other networks continue to discuss when and how to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptography.
According to Ostium's official report, the core of this attack lies in the compromise of the off-chain price reporting system permissions, unrelated to smart contract vulnerabilities. After obtaining off-chain authorization, the attacker utilized the protocol's registered legitimate forwarding paths to submit forged prices ($5,000 and $60,000) to the BTC-USD market, atomically completing an open-close position arbitrage cycle within the same transaction. Starting with 100 USDC and rolling to amplify the scale across 8 transactions, they extracted 23.75 million USDC from the OLP vault within 5 minutes until the vault circuit breaker mechanism was triggered. The root cause lies in the off-chain infrastructure lacking a multi-party approval mechanism equivalent to on-chain multi-signature, creating a single-point permission vulnerability. The stolen funds have been converted to ETH and mixed via Tornado Cash; tracking efforts are still ongoing.

: A security report for the first half of 2026 released by on-chain security platform Blockaid shows that the crypto industry suffered losses exceeding $1 billion during the period, with a record number of hacker incidents in six months. Blockaid tracked 212 security incidents, including a single attack on KelpDAO that resulted in a loss of $292 million. Ethereum and Solana were the networks with the largest amounts of stolen funds during the period, with losses of approximately $332 million and $326 million, respectively. Blockaid stated that the number of high-threshold attacks in the first half of 2026 was 3.4 times that of the entire year of 2025. Ethereum incidents were primarily driven by code vulnerabilities, with attack vectors including bridge and smart contract exploits, unauthorized access to privileged accounts, and market manipulation. Solana's losses increased significantly from approximately $127 million in 2025, with over 98% of losses stemming from key leaks, primarily involving incidents related to Drift Protocol and Step Finance.
