Odaily reports: Lin Han, founder and CEO of cryptocurrency trading platform Gate, has called on the crypto industry to immediately establish a security alliance to unify security standards, intrusion detection protocols, and emergency response mechanisms in order to address security incidents like the one suffered by Binance. The Binance incident involved approximately $6.3 billion in losses.Gate also proposed promoting a vault solution with split keys, distributing private keys among users, Gate, and recovery partners, so that funds can only be transferred after at least two parties are compromised; vault withdrawals would be subject to a 48-hour delay to allow users to freeze their funds.Gate stated that it has flagged the relevant hacker addresses and will freeze any illicit funds transferred to its platform.

According to Cointelegraph, phishing ads impersonating the decentralized exchange protocol Uniswap have appeared in Google search results, enabling attackers to steal at least $400,000. On-chain analyst b-block stated that the associated counterfeit websites are draining funds from multiple wallets; the implicated addresses currently hold a combined total of 146 ETH—worth approximately $306,000 at press time. Security Alliance (SEAL) noted that such fraudulent Google ads are a common source of phishing attacks, with attackers either purchasing ad placements or compromising legitimate advertising accounts to impersonate popular crypto protocols in sponsored search results. SEAL also reported that between March 13 and March 30, these attacks resulted in total losses amounting to $1.27 million.
Zerion disclosed that some of its corporate hot wallets were recently targeted by an AI-driven social engineering attack linked to North Korean hackers, resulting in losses of approximately $100,000. Zerion stated that user funds, applications, and infrastructure remain unaffected and proactively disabled its web application to mitigate risk. This incident marks the second such attack this month, following the $280 million breach of Drift Protocol, underscoring how North Korean hackers are leveraging AI to refine social engineering tactics—primarily targeting employees and developers at crypto firms. The Security Alliance (SEAL) tracked the hacker group UNC1069, which conducts low-pressure, multi-week social engineering campaigns across platforms including Telegram, LinkedIn, and Slack, using AI tools to edit images and videos to enhance attack efficiency.
