Trezor Cryptocurrency Wallet Manufacturer Discloses Number of Victims in Data Leak

Cryptocurrency wallet manufacturer Trezor has disclosed that approximately 347,000 customer email addresses were compromised due to a breach at its third-party email service provider, Brevo. The attackers used this access to send phishing emails from Trezor's official domain on September 9, which contained a link to a malicious application designed to steal wallet recovery information. Trezor blocked the fraudulent download site within 20 minutes, but not before around 2,500 individuals had clicked the link. The company emphasized that Trezor hardware wallets and user accounts were not directly hacked. Funds remain safe for users who only clicked the link but did not submit their recovery seed. The broader Brevo breach reportedly affected 120 customer accounts, enabling phishing campaigns impersonating various companies. Trezor has warned users to delete suspicious emails, avoid clicking links, and never share personal information or wallet recovery phrases. If a user has already entered wallet details via the phishing link, they should immediately transfer all funds to a new wallet. In response to this incident, Trezor pledged to review its supplier relationships and security requirements. This marks the company's second data breach in recent months, following an August incident where personal data of 13,700 customers was exposed after a hack at shipping service ShipMonk.

You Thought It Was a Security Compliance Check, But Ended Up Handing Over Your Assets to Hackers

This article details a growing scam involving fake Anti-Money Laundering (AML) websites. Cybercriminals exploit users' compliance anxieties by creating professional-looking sites that mimic legitimate AML screening services. These fraudulent sites prompt victims to connect their crypto wallets for a "security check," a key red flag, as genuine AML checks only require a public address. Once connected, users are tricked into signing malicious transactions, often under the guise of paying a small "verification fee." This approval grants attackers permission to drain the wallet's assets, which may occur weeks or months later. The piece outlines a five-step trap and concludes with three critical rules for protection: never connect your wallet for an AML check (only provide a public address), be wary of any fee requests, and regularly review/revoke wallet authorizations. The core lesson is that scammers are weaponizing trust in security procedures, turning a user's attempt at self-protection into the very cause of their loss.

Liquid Network Restarts Block Production After $320M Bitcoin Exploit

The Liquid Network has resumed block production after a major security incident that resulted in the unauthorized withdrawal of approximately $320 million worth of Bitcoin from its federation wallet. While block generation and validation have restarted following a critical software upgrade, user transactions, withdrawals, and peg operations remain frozen. This partial restart is a cautious step toward normalcy. The exploit occurred when attackers exploited a vulnerability in the proof-verification protocol, allowing them to issue unbacked L-BTC tokens. These tokens were then used to withdraw nearly 4,000 BTC from the federation's reserves. Liquid has identified the perpetrators as white-hat hackers. Following the implementation of security patches, the attackers returned approximately 3,400 BTC, covering about 85% of the stolen funds. The network's operations, including the ability for users to transfer or cash out assets, will remain restricted until reserves are fully restored.

Coinbase Renamed Base App Back to Coinbase Wallet

Coinbase has rebranded its "Base App" back to "Coinbase Wallet." According to product lead Ryan Kass, the name change better reflects the app's role as Coinbase's non-custodial gateway to a universal marketplace for trading any asset. Originally conceived as a "super-app" integrating social features, payments, and mini-apps—including creator and content tokens—the social experiment did not achieve the expected sustainable economic model. CEO Brian Armstrong and Base creator Jesse Pollack acknowledged this shift, with Pollack stating he was wrong in believing social products alone would bring a billion users to crypto. The focus has now pivoted squarely to trading. The revamped Coinbase Wallet has expanded its supported networks to include competing chains like Robinhood Chain, aiming to offer users asset choice regardless of platform rivalry. Kass highlighted the cyclical nature of trader interest between networks like Robinhood Chain and Base, expressing confidence that Coinbase Wallet will be ready when attention returns to Base. The wallet will also serve as a testing ground for new assets and features before they potentially reach Coinbase's main retail app. While social functionalities aren't entirely ruled out, future development will be user-driven rather than a core product foundation.

DeFi Platform Empowa Reports Theft of Large Amount of ADA and NIGHT

The DeFi platform Empowa reported a theft of a significant amount of ADA and NIGHT tokens from its treasury. Between November 2025 and June 2026, a total of 143,710 ADA was withdrawn from the treasury wallet on the Cardano network. The same wallet, unbeknownst to the team, also held 48,219 NIGHT tokens from a Midnight project airdrop, with a quarter of them remaining locked. Suspicious activity began on November 26, 2025. The perpetrator used an intermediary address to supply 100,000 ADA as collateral to borrow USDCx on the Liqwid lending protocol, later converting and bridging assets out of Cardano. In a second incident from June to August, 4.24 million of Empowa's native EMP tokens were taken from two addresses. Approximately 850,000 EMP were sold for ADA on DEXs, converted to USDCx, with 4,810 USDCx sent to the same intermediary address from the first theft. Empowa's investigation suggests the attacker has controlled the private keys for an extended period, using the treasury wallet to claim NIGHT tokens. The team has ruled out any connection to the June hack of the SecondFi platform, noting their compromised wallets were corporate-grade. Blockchain experts are involved, and Empowa plans to pursue legal channels if stolen funds reach centralized exchanges, while insider involvement is a suspected but unproven theory.

B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO, and BitTorrent expand MetaMask connectivity, driving global DeFi access

On September 10, 2026, four major TRON ecosystem dApps—B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO, and BitTorrent—announced support for MetaMask connectivity. This integration allows MetaMask's global user base to directly access these platforms through the familiar wallet interface, simplifying on-chain interactions and lowering entry barriers. B.AI, a financial infrastructure for AI agents, extends its autonomous transaction and identity protocols. SUN.io, with over $650M TVL, enables access to its SunSwap V4 AMM. JustLend DAO, a leading lending platform with $7B+ TVL, offers borrowing and staking services. BitTorrent provides cross-chain interoperability via BTTC and decentralized storage via BTFS. This unified wallet-based experience lets users manage TRON assets like TRX and USDT, and execute swaps within MetaMask. By aligning TRON's high-performance dApps with a widely used Web3 gateway, the ecosystem aims to enhance liquidity, capital efficiency, and global adoption of DeFi and AI-driven applications.

TRON expands MetaMask connectivity across B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO and BitTorrent

TRON DAO has announced expanded support for MetaMask across its ecosystem. Applications including B.AI, SUN.io, JustLend DAO, and BitTorrent now support MetaMask connectivity through their respective dApps. This follows MetaMask's earlier introduction of native TRON network support on its platforms. Officials from both TRON DAO and MetaMask highlighted that this integration provides millions of users a familiar way to access TRON's high-speed, low-cost ecosystem for activities like DeFi, lending, and cross-chain interoperability without switching wallets. TRON, a major settlement layer for stablecoins like USDT, processes significant daily volume and hosts a vast user base. The expanded MetaMask connectivity aims to further streamline user interaction with TRON's growing decentralized application landscape.

Consensys Splits! After Going Independent, MetaMask Aims to Become the Bank of Web3?

ConsenSys, the company behind the popular MetaMask crypto wallet, has announced a corporate split. As of late 2026, it will operate as two separate entities. The existing company will be renamed MetaMask and focus entirely on consumer-facing products, led by founder Joe Lubin. A new company will retain the ConsenSys name and handle institutional infrastructure and protocol work. This move underscores MetaMask's strategic shift from being a simple wallet and gateway to Ethereum dApps. Over the past few years, MetaMask has aggressively expanded its in-app offerings, including its own stablecoin (mUSD), a debit card (MetaMask Card), perpetual swaps, prediction markets, and tokenized stocks. A key recent addition is the "Money Account," a self-custody account built on Monad that automatically generates yield on idle funds while allowing for seamless trading, transfers, and spending. The goal is to transform MetaMask from a transaction tool into a comprehensive "Open Money" platform, where users can manage, grow, and use their assets in one place. This evolution responds to a crowded wallet market and aims to create a sticky, all-in-one financial account. While speculation about a future IPO or token persists, no concrete plans have been announced. The restructuring is not expected to impact current user wallets or developer tools.

MetaMask and ConsenSys to Become Independent Companies

ConsenSys Software Inc., the developer of the MetaMask wallet, is splitting into two independently managed companies, with the process set to complete by the end of 2026. The current company will be rebranded as MetaMask, focusing on consumer products like the wallet under CEO Joe Lubin. The other new company will retain the ConsenSys name and will house the institutional business, including the Linea L2 network and Ethereum clients Besu and Teku, led by CEO Mike Kriak. The decision is driven by diverging trends: individual users increasingly integrate wallets into daily finances, while institutions move from pilots to real blockchain adoption, each requiring dedicated teams and funding strategies. MetaMask will prioritize the Ethereum ecosystem while supporting other blockchains and expanding access to traditional finance tools, aiming to combine payments, savings, and investments. The new ConsenSys will focus on providing blockchain infrastructure for banks, asset managers, and corporates, with work in tokenization, stablecoins, and programmable settlements. Lubin will serve as Executive Chairman of the new ConsenSys. The companies will continue to operate within the same ecosystem but with independent strategies tailored to their respective markets.

Sandbox and Cronos Cease to be Targeted by Hackers, Researchers Urged to Report Vulnerabilities Responsibly

The Sandbox has reopened its portal for users to claim compensation for losses from an August 22nd bridge hack, offering a 1:1 refund in $SAND on Ethereum. The attack exploited a vulnerability allowing unauthorized token minting, resulting in losses of ~$1.49M. The project has permanently shut down the compromised bridge across Base, BNB Smart Chain, and Ethereum. Separately, the Cronos blockchain has recovered from a late-August attack involving the artificial inflation of the TONIC token's value, during which ~$6M was extracted before the chain was halted. Its total value locked has since rebounded. Concurrently, hardware wallet makers Ledger and Trezor have addressed security disclosure practices. Ledger's CTO warned that AI is making vulnerability discovery cheaper and faster, urging researchers to practice responsible disclosure by reporting issues privately with a fixed timeline, commonly 90 days, before public release. Trezor echoed this support for coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
