$10M Gone: Thorchain Exploit Triggers Security Fears Across DeFi

Blockchain tracker Arkham Intelligence has identified wallets linked to a THORChain exploit, holding approximately $3 million in Bitcoin and 216 ETH. On-chain investigator ZachXBT first reported the suspicious activity, estimating total losses now exceed $10 million. The attackers moved assets like USDT, USDC, and wrapped Bitcoin across multiple chains before converting to ETH. The cross-chain trading protocol was hit simultaneously on Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. Security firm PeckShield confirmed the breach. Following the news, THORChain's native token RUNE dropped nearly 14%. The project's team had not issued a public statement at the time of reporting, increasing market anxiety. This incident highlights the recurring vulnerability of cross-chain infrastructure in DeFi, where complex code can create significant security risks. The stolen funds remain in the identified wallets for now.

Crypto Hacks Drop to $26.5M in February Amid Security Gains

Crypto hacks and scams plummeted to a multi-year low in February, totaling approximately $26.5 million across 15 incidents. This represents a significant 69.2% decrease from January's $86 million in losses. The two largest attacks accounted for the majority: a $10 million price manipulation hack on YieldBlox’s lending pool and an $8.9 million private key exploit on IoTeX. Security firm PeckShield attributed the sharp decline to a lack of "mega-hacks" and a shift in focus due to market volatility. Analysts suggest capital is becoming more selective, rewarding protocols with stronger security, and that improved risk controls, audits, and AI-powered tools are contributing to a broader trend of enhanced crypto security.

Aperture Finance Loses $3.67M in Exploit, Hacker Deposits Funds Through Tornado Cash

Aperture Finance suffered a security breach on January 25, 2026, resulting in a loss of approximately $3.67 million. The exploit targeted specific versions of its smart contracts (V3 and V4), allowing the hacker to steal funds by exploiting vulnerabilities in contract approvals and function calls. The attacker subsequently deposited 1,242.7 ETH (worth around $2.4 million) into Tornado Cash, likely to obscure the transaction trail. In response, Aperture Finance disabled affected web app functions, released a security analysis, and urged users to revoke all related ERC-20 and ERC-721 approvals connected to the compromised addresses.
