According to Blockaid monitoring, Crypto DAO's Pro token was attacked. As of 00:23 early this morning, the attacker and related profit addresses currently hold a combined total of approximately 8.2 million USDT.
: 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.
According to Cointelegraph, the cross-chain bridging and atomic swap protocol Garden Finance temporarily took its application offline after detecting abnormal activity on July 27. Blockchain security firm Blockaid disclosed that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Garden Finance's Hash Time Locked Contracts (HTLC), stealing a total of approximately $450,000 worth of USDT across four networks: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Smart Chain.
据 Blockaid 监测，Arbitrum 生态协议 AFX 于北京时间 7月 23日 5:30 遭攻击。此次攻击针对 AFX 运营的跨链桥，迄今已导致协议约 2415 万枚 USDC 被转移。Blockaid 称，正与 Arbitrum 团队协作响应事件，并协助相关协议控制被盗资金风险。
Decentralized trading protocol Ostium paused trading due to suspected exploitation of its oracle system, with security firms Blockaid and CertiK estimating losses between $18 million and $22 million.
Blockaid stated that it detected a vault exploit incident involving Ostium on Arbitrum. The attacker fabricated false trading profits through registered PriceUpKeep Forwarders and authorized oracle reports with future timestamps, triggering a payout of approximately 18 million USDC from the vault.
According to Blockaid monitoring, the Lumi Finance protocol on Arbitrum is under attack, and approximately $270,000 in funds have been transferred out so far.
According to Blockaid monitoring, Summer.fi was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $6 million in funds.
According to Blockaid’s monitoring, the Yield Yak website has suffered a front-end attack. The website’s subdomain currently contains code from eleven drainers. This attack method is similar to the one previously used against Gitcoin.
Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Taiko has stated its chain state verification mechanism has been compromised, and the security assumptions of all bridges deployed on Taiko can no longer be relied upon. It urges users to immediately withdraw funds from the relevant bridges. Taiko says it is coordinating with partners to control the incident and has suspended the affected systems.Crypto security firm Blockaid stated that the root cause appears to be a flaw in the way Taiko's bridge validates source signals. Attackers can submit message proofs on Ethereum that lack legitimate proof from the Taiko chain, thereby registering and withdrawing fraudulent bridge messages. This leads to the unauthorized release of assets from the ERC20 treasury. Blockaid estimates at least $1 million was stolen, while Lookonchain and PeckShield believe the value of stolen assets could be as high as $1.7 million.PeckShield reported that the attacker has transferred approximately 1.99 million TAIKO tokens to MEXC, valued at around $189,000. Data from blockchain intelligence firm Arkham shows that the Taiko attacker's wallet holds approximately $1.5 million in assets, primarily in Ether. (Cointelegraph)
Blockaid monitoring reported that Taiko’s ERC-20 treasury on Ethereum was attacked, resulting in losses exceeding $1 million. Preliminary analysis suggests the issue may stem from a vulnerability in Taiko’s cross-chain bridge proof verification, enabling the attacker to forge cross-chain messages and withdraw assets—causing unauthorized release of treasury funds.
According to security firm Blockaid (@blockaid_), its monitoring engine detected a front-end attack targeting the @gitcoin subdomain files[.]gitcoin[.]co, which contains malicious Eleven drainer code. Blockaid advises users to refrain from any interaction with this website while the issue is under investigation and remediation.
Jaredfromsubway.eth, a well-known MEV bot long active on the Ethereum network, has been attacked by hackers exploiting a vulnerability in its automated execution system, resulting in losses exceeding $7.5 million.Security firm Blockaid stated that the incident was not a traditional phishing attack or smart contract vulnerability, but rather an "anti-MEV honeypot attack" specifically targeting the decision-making logic of the MEV bot. Over several weeks, the attacker deployed 66 fake token contracts and false liquidity pools, masquerading as assets such as WETH, USDC, and USDT, luring the bot into executing seemingly profitable trades and authorizing auxiliary contracts controlled by the attacker.Ultimately, in a single transaction, the attacker invoked all backdoor permissions to transfer the ETH, USDC, and USDT held by the bot's address. Data shows that between November 2024 and October 2025, the Ethereum network experienced approximately 60,000 to 90,000 sandwich attacks per month, with about 70% of them linked to Jaredfromsubway.eth.

According to on-chain analyst Blockaid (@blockaid_), the well-known Ethereum MEV bot JaredFromSubway (@jaredsmev) has been attacked, resulting in losses of approximately $7.5 million. The attacker constructed a deceptive MEV arbitrage path to trick the bot into automatically approving token transfers. Leveraging these open approvals—before they were revoked—the attacker drained WETH, USDC, and USDT from the bot’s contract. The stolen funds ultimately flowed to the attacker’s wallet address. Blockaid noted that this attack was not a conventional phishing attempt or smart contract vulnerability, but rather a targeted exploitation of the bot’s automated execution mechanism.
According to on-chain security platform Blockaid (@blockaid_), the MILC Platform cross-chain bridge suffered a private key leak on both the BNB Chain and Ethereum networks. The attacker exploited a historical bridge administrator wallet to grant the DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE and MANAGER_ROLE permissions to the attacker’s address. Subsequently, assets were withdrawn from the bridge contract, and administrative control was transferred to the attacker’s wallet. Confirmed losses currently stand at approximately $97,003 USDT (on BNB Chain) and approximately 39.21 ETH (on Ethereum, transferred out via Rhino.fi), totaling roughly $161,000.
Blockaid disclosed on X that the Alephium TokenBridge Ethereum cross-chain bridge was attacked. The attacker compromised three out of four Guardian private keys, forged a Verified Action Approval (VAA) message, and executed the attack within approximately seven minutes, stealing roughly $815,000 worth of assets. During the attack, the attacker minted 13.76 million Wrapped ALPH tokens out of thin air—exceeding the pre-attack circulating supply by over 100%—and simultaneously unlocked and withdrew assets including USDT, USDC, WBTC, and WETH from the custody pool. As of now, the attacker’s address still holds approximately $815,000 in stolen assets and 13.76 million uncollateralized Wrapped ALPH tokens; the largest anomalous transaction involved the out-of-thin-air minting of 13.76 million Wrapped ALPH tokens.
according to Blockaid monitoring, it detected an ongoing attack targeting the SquidRouter module on the Ethereum and Base chains. Within approximately 2 hours, 86 Gnosis Safe wallets were drained of about $3 million in assets. All stolen tokens were swapped for DAI via a Uniswap V3 pool controlled by the attacker.
stablecoin issuer StablR suffered a sustained attack, causing its euro stablecoin EURR and dollar stablecoin USDR to depeg.Blockchain security firm Blockaid stated that the attacker allegedly gained control by obtaining the private key of one of the owners of the minting multi-signature account. Exploiting the 1/3 signature threshold mechanism, the attacker replaced other administrators and minted an additional 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR.Subsequently, the attacker swapped tokens worth approximately $10.4 million for about 1,115 ETH on a DEX, yielding an actual profit of around $2.8 million. Following the incident, EURR fell to around $0.88, while USDR dropped to approximately $0.7.Blockaid noted that the incident was not caused by a smart contract vulnerability but rather by a failure in key management and governance mechanisms.
