Decentralized finance protocol Convergence confirmed a hack on Aug. 1, where an attacker exploited a vulnerability in the CvxRewardDistributor contract. The hacker minted 58 million CVG tokens, valued at $210,000, and stole $2,000 in unclaimed staking rewards. The exploit stemmed from an accidental code removal during a gas-optimization update, leading to a malfunction in token distribution. The CVG token’s value plummeted to $0.0004, with a market cap of just $57,000. Convergence has advised users to withdraw their assets and is working to fix the broken rewards contract. The total value locked on the platform fell from $5.79 million to $3.69 million. . . . . #defi #convergence #security #glitch #cryptostan #thecryptocountry #blockchain

A wallet linked to the $200 million hack of the Nomad cross-chain bridge in 2022 has transferred 14,500 ether (ETH)—valued at $35.5 million at current prices—to the sanctioned coin-mixing service, Tornado Cash. Tornado Cash, a tool designed to anonymise transactions by splitting them across multiple wallets over time, was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in 2022. In the 2022 attack on the Nomad Bridge, hackers drained approximately $200 million worth of crypto after exploiting a vulnerability that allowed them to spoof transactions and withdraw assets they didn’t own. #Blockchain #Ethereum #CyberCrime #NomadBridge #TornadoCash #OFAC #Hack #DigitalAssets https://lnkd.in/ebu2Jd2k

𝗖𝗘𝗫 𝘃𝘀. 𝗗𝗘𝗫: 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 Centralized Exchanges (CEX) are managed by a central authority, holding users' funds. They offer a more user-friendly experience with customer support and higher liquidity but come with a higher risk of hacks, though they usually comply with regulations (KYC). Some examples include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. On the other hand, Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) operate without a central authority, leveraging smart contracts. Users retain control over their private keys and funds, enjoying greater privacy. However, DEXs can be less user-friendly with varying liquidity and are susceptible to smart contract vulnerabilities. Examples include Uniswap, SushiSwap, and PancakeSwap. Follow 👉 Maaz Jabbar Shah & share ♻️ with your network #Crypto #Blockchain #Decentralization #Trading #CEX #DEX #Security #Innovation

They lost $6.7 million by dropping the keys 🔑 Recently, we discovered that hackers exploited a wallet access control flaw at Duelbits. Despite being warned about questionable transactions totaling $4.6 million in February, the team failed to act. Fast forward to the present, and the criminals have stolen a massive $6.7 million jackpot from Tornado Cash. All because they failed to secure access to their cryptocurrency vault! The takeaway? In #crypto, your #keys are EVERYTHING. Lose control of them, and it's game over for your funds. It's a $6.7M lesson in why air-tight wallet #accesscontrol is CRUCIAL: ✅ Multi-sig setups ✅ Distributed storage ✅ Tamper-evident tech Had they implemented these standard security practices, DuelBits could've avoided this multi-million-dollar punch to the gut. The moral? Treat your crypto keys like royal jewels. Guard them with your life, secure all access, and don't take any chances. Let this be a wake-up call to get access control right before you suffer the same. #hacks #scams #blockchain #security #incidentresponse #compliance #crypto #web3 #ai #defi #rekt #cyvers #web3security

🚨 A DeFi protocol UwU Lend has been hacked for a staggering $19.3 million! 🚨 The DeFi space faces a stark reminder of its inherent risks with the recent hack of UwU Lend, resulting in a loss of $19.3 million. A single wallet siphoned various tokens (ETH, WBTC) and swapped them on Uniswap. While UwU Lend promised high yields, the exploit exposes vulnerabilities. Ironically, they leveraged AAVE code and had audits in place. This incident highlights that even seemingly robust security measures can be breached. The exploit might be linked to price oracle manipulation. Attackers may have targeted specific sources used for price calculation, influencing the sUSDe asset price.

These funds were linked to assets seized in relation to the 2016 Bitfinex hack. An on-chain analyst at Arkham Intelligence suspects the wallet may have been compromised, as funds were moved to a new five-day-old address in what appears to be a likely theft. Among the funds transferred: - $1.25 million in Tether (USDT) was withdrawn from Aave. - $5.5 million in USDC stablecoins. - $446,000 worth of Ethereum (ETH). - $13.7 million in aUSDC (an interest-bearing token representing USDC on Aave). Some of the funds were moved to instant exchanges, including one sourcing liquidity from Binance, the world’s largest crypto trading platform by volume. This marks the first time these funds have been touched in eight months, raising concerns about the security of seized assets held in government-controlled wallets. #CryptoSecurity #Blockchain #BitfinexHack #DigitalAssets #USGovernment #CyberSecurity #Ethereum #Stablecoins #BlockchainTechnology #Aave #Binance
