According to The Defiant, Synthetix's protocol DAO has recovered 8.4 million SNX tokens stolen in the Binance hack. These tokens are currently securely stored in its Safe and will be returned upon Binance's request.
According to The Defiant, prediction market platform Myriad Markets confirmed that its internal admin wallet, used to automatically create and settle certain markets, was compromised. On October 26, the attacker manipulated the results of 10 prediction markets using the wallet and claimed rewards, involving topics such as the OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs, whether Base will issue tokens in 2026, and the U.S. midterm elections. Myriad subsequently revoked the wallet's administrative privileges and declared the related markets void.
According to The Defiant, data from Blockaid shows that between January and August 2026, the 60 cryptocurrency attack incidents it tracked involved approximately $1.18 billion, with victims recovering a total of about $9.8 million, accounting for less than 1%. The report indicates that all frozen or returned funds were secured through on-chain governance or validator actions, while blacklist mechanisms by stablecoin issuers recovered zero funds across these 60 incidents.
According to The Defiant, Cosmos Hub resumed operations after ceasing block production for 24 hours and 48 minutes. The Neutron attacker purchased voting power for 20,199 USDC and completed staking just 12 minutes before an expedited proposal expired; the relevant wallet subsequently transferred 1.23 million ATOM.
According to The Defiant, the Core Lightning (CLN) maintainers for the Bitcoin Lightning Network have notified node operators that if they are unable to upgrade to the upcoming patched version, they should run their nodes offline using the --offline parameter. The team stated it will release binaries containing fixes for multiple disclosed vulnerabilities, but specific vulnerability details will remain confidential for two more weeks; as of press time, the relevant binaries and security advisory have not been published. CLN had previously noted that it received several AI-generated CVE reports over the past ten days, and the team is working with open-source contributors to verify, classify, and patch them. The latest public release is v26.06.6, issued on July 22, and the v26.09 release, originally slated for late September, continues to proceed as planned.
According to The Defiant, Boltz announced that its original founders have all exited, and an anonymous team of "senior Bitcoin figures" will take over the suspended Bitcoin Swap service. The new team will provide funding and engineering support to fix vulnerabilities and push for the service to resume as soon as possible.
