据 Decrypt 报道，荷兰国家网络安全中心（NCSC）发出警告，攻击者正在积极利用 macOS 屏幕共享功能中的一个身份验证漏洞（CVE-2026-65400，严重性评分 7.1），对将 5900 端口暴露于公网的 Mac 设备发起攻击，成功获取 root 权限后植入门罗币挖矿程序。
Odaily News: The Dutch National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has reported that attackers are exploiting a vulnerability in Apple's macOS Screen Sharing feature to take control of devices and install Monero mining programs. Multiple systems with port 5900 exposed to the internet have been compromised, with attackers gaining root access. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-65400, has a severity score of 7.1 out of 10. It stems from a state management error in the authentication process, allowing remote attackers to bypass login verification without valid credentials. Public proof-of-concept code has already been circulated. Apple has addressed the issue in macOS Sequoia 15.7.9, Sonoma 14.8.9, and Tahoe 26.6.1. The NCSC advises users to update their systems promptly and avoid exposing the Screen Sharing service directly to the internet. (Decrypt)
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, January 10 - A Bitcoin and Litecoin holder provided a 12-word recovery phrase to attackers impersonating Trezor support personnel, resulting in the theft of approximately $282 million in assets, including about $139 million in Bitcoin and $153 million in Litecoin. Blockchain forensics firm ZeroShadow stated that the incident stemmed from a social engineering attack, not a compromise of wallet software or private key infrastructure. The stolen funds were split via the THORChain cross-chain bridge within minutes and converted into Monero through instant exchange services. ZeroShadow's monitoring team flagged and froze approximately $700,000 in funds within 20 minutes. Under the BIP39 standard, a 12-word recovery phrase contains approximately 128 bits of entropy, while a 24-word phrase contains 256 bits of entropy. Chainalysis estimates that up to 23% of all mined Bitcoin is permanently inaccessible due to lost keys, involving millions of BTC, with causes including forgotten recovery phrases, damaged backups, and a lack of inheritance planning.
security researchers have discovered an information-stealing malware targeting MacOS devices that is attacking crypto users. It can hijack Telegram Desktop sessions, steal passwords and wallet databases, further controlling user accounts and stealing digital assets. Affected wallets and applications include: Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Wasabi, Monero, and others.Security experts advise that users with potentially infected devices should immediately treat them as "untrusted devices," terminate all active Telegram sessions, and change both their Telegram two-factor authentication password and desktop app password. Additionally, users should not enter seed phrases, private keys, or wallet passwords on the infected device, and should generate a new wallet and migrate their assets. (FinanceFeeds)
Odaily, the decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain has resumed trading after being down for over five weeks following a May attack. Signing, swapping, liquidity provider operations, and redemptions have all been restored.On May 15, blockchain investigator ZachXBT and security firm PeckShield identified that the protocol had likely been exploited, prompting THORChain to halt trading. The vulnerability resulted in a loss of approximately $10.7 million from one of its six Asgard vaults, while the other five vaults were unaffected.THORChain stated that each vault has now been verified, and every key share has been cross-checked. Native Monero swaps are currently undergoing end-to-end testing and will be launched subsequently. (The Block)
RetoSwap, a Monero ecosystem P2P trading platform, announced that its Haveno trading protocol has been exploited by attackers. The team has urgently suspended trading by raising the minimum required client version to 2.0.0 and blocking the attackers’ Onion addresses. RetoSwap emphasized that its own infrastructure was not compromised; this incident stems from a vulnerability in the Haveno protocol. In May this year, RetoSwap disclosed a prior attack in which attackers exploited a protocol vulnerability to steal approximately 7,000 XMR—valued at roughly $2.7 million at the time.
According to the THORChain blog, ZEC is in the queue for launch on THORChain. However, due to a recent vulnerability disclosed in Zcash—whose existing patch impacts integrators’ normal operations—THORChain must first complete a minor code modification to its Bifrost module before proceeding. The development team stated that the change is minimal but must be completed prior to ZEC’s launch. Monero (XMR) is currently expected to launch by the end of this month, with ZEC scheduled to follow.
On-chain monitoring shows that a batch of funds suspected to be linked to hackers or phishing activities has recently been continuously purchasing Monero (XMR), with total purchases amounting to approximately $23 million, significantly impacting the market price.
According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), RetoSwap—a peer-to-peer, decentralized exchange for Monero (XMR)—was exploited by hackers leveraging a vulnerability in the Haveno trading protocol, resulting in the theft of users’ funds totaling 7,000 XMR (approximately $2.7 million). Following the incident, the RetoSwap team responded swiftly, blacklisting the attacker’s onion address at 02:33 UTC and pausing all platform trading by enforcing an upgrade to client version 2.0.0. The attack has now been contained.
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.
