Hackers managed to steal millions of dollars in valuable NFTs, including Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club, using an NFT Trader exploit.
Following the hack of "legacy smart contracts", NFT Trader is calling on users to revoke access to the two compromised contracts.
Hacker demands ransom for stolen NFTs. The hacker also returned one Bored Ape NFT along with ETH to one user and returned some Bored Ape tokens to the owners. In addition, there were reports of auxiliary hacks that removed Cool Cats and Squiggles tokens from users' wallets.

Maybe this is small money in your eyes, but it is also quite big in the eyes of those who need it.
IS your Binance account SAFE?!
check it periodically
The story is that this transaction just happened without any notification
Initially USDT resides in the Trading Bot wallet. On August 1, 2024 starting at 22:25:25, the Hacker made a transaction moving it to the Spot wallet without me knowing and there was no notification.
The next morning on August 2 2024 I only saw the wallet summary and the amount had not been reduced.
Until midday there were no trading notifications on Coin BTC, in history there were no purchase transactions or orders to buy BTC/USDT, at exactly 11 o'clock the hacker took action, at 11:03 he made a purchase of BTC/USDT with the position (Taker) (seen in transaction history) and then quickly at 11:08 The hack made a withdrawal transaction via my Binance account, again no notification and I didn't notice.
Around 13:00 I opened a Binance account and what happened next was that I couldn't find my funds and the chronology I told above is the flow of the transaction history that occurred.
I always play with my gadgets and periodically monitor the market on Binance, but I can still get stolen. Before this incident, I had not had any contact with anyone (scammer). So where does this hacker take my funds?
This is my morning experience, hopefully it can be a lesson for you, I am still unsure whether my account is still safe or not even though I have activated double security. and I have also reported this incident via the Binance feature.

Bedrock Protocol Hack: How Hackers Stole $2 Million and Compromised Data Security
Well, the Bedrock protocol hacking story is something else. Let's take it step by step.
First of all, the Bedrock protocol itself is not just some platform. It is one of the key mechanisms for Bitcoin restaking, that is, transferring assets from one level of the blockchain to another to generate income. The point is that it must be as secure as possible, because big money flows there.

ALERT!!!
INDODAX: ONE OF THE LARGE CRYPTO EXCHANGES IN INDONESIA HACKED
Indodax, one of the major crypto exchanges in Indonesia, has experienced a hacker attack. It is suspected that the loss and ransom demanded is 16.1 million $ or equivalent to 270 billion Rupiah.
The effect on users is that they cannot log in to the application and cannot check their Indodax wallet!
This is the umpteenth attack on a crypto exchange in the past year, which shows that there are still many loopholes for hackers to attack the application and security of the crypto exchange where investors entrust their assets.
In addition, this issue has triggered a global panic that has suppressed sales of $BTC so that the price has dropped. Do we still trust the security system of the crypto exchange that we use??

A hacker uses a clever trick to steal cryptocurrencies!!
Users of the Indian cryptocurrency exchange (WazirX) were hacked and funds were transferred using the Tornado Cash service. The Tornado Cash service allows cryptocurrency users to exchange tokens while hiding wallet addresses on various blockchains. Although the service itself is not suspicious, it is commonly used by crypto criminals to hide digital evidence.
According to data tracked by Arkham, the hacker transferred nearly $4 million in ether (ETH) via 16 transactions on the Ethereum network to the Tornado Cash router.
The stolen funds constitute more than 45% of the total reserves reported by the exchange in its June 2024 report.
Legal advisors for WazirX stated on Monday that customers are unlikely to recover their entire cryptocurrency funds, with the best-case scenario being a recovery of between 55% and 57% of the funds. #bitcoin #Binance #etherreum #hacker #tornado $BTC $ETH

Radiant Capital is having a bad time! This crypto lending platform has just been hacked by malicious hackers. The losses are huge, more than $50 million! 💸 This is the second time in a year that Radiant has been attacked like this.
Initially, the hackers stole money from BNB Chain. But not satisfied, they continued to Arbitrum and took even more money. The stolen money was various, including USDT, USDC, and ARB. 🪙

#CryptoExplorerFiesta #Security #Binance #hacker
Radiant has admitted that there is a problem and is trying to solve it. They also asked users to be careful and revoke certain permissions on their accounts. ⚠️
Now, what makes it scary is that hackers can steal money because there is a gap in the Radiant system. They can enter the system and take money at will. In fact, usually a system like this is very safe! 🔒
This is a lesson for all of us, especially those who like to play crypto. Even though the platform looks safe, no one can guarantee 100%. We must always be vigilant and not easily believe all the offers that exist.
The point is, Radiant is having a hard time. They have to work hard to rebuild user trust. Let's just wait for further news. The important thing is, we as users must be smarter in protecting our crypto assets. 🔍

🤷 Drake's X account has been hacked, promoting the scam memecoin 'Anita'
The official X account of rapper Drake has been hacked, with over 39 million of his followers receiving posts promoting a fraudulent memecoin named "Anita." This token is based on Solana and uses the name of Drake's upcoming tour, "Anita Max Wynn," to create an appearance of credibility for the scam.
The attackers falsely claimed that $ANITA was launched in collaboration with Stake, the popular cryptocurrency betting platform that Drake has been an ambassador for since 2022. The posts included a contract address and related cartoon images, which were later removed.
Though it existed for a short time, $ANITA recorded trading volumes of up to 5 million USD before traders realized the fraud and stopped buying. The X account related to the project was also suspended shortly thereafter.
Hacking celebrity accounts to promote fraudulent cryptocurrency projects is a common tactic used by cybercriminals. Drake is not the only victim, as artists like Wiz Khalifa, Mbappe, Cardi B, and Metallica have also been exploited in similar scams. The fraudsters take advantage of the trust and influence of celebrities to harm the community.
The electronic market is full of potential but rife with scams. Therefore, investors need to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to avoid being scammed to protect their assets. #hacker #Anita #memecoin

😤 James Zhong: The Genius Hacker Who Embezzled 50,000 Bitcoins from Silk Road
In 2012, the world of cryptocurrencies witnessed one of the biggest heists in its history. James Zhong, a brilliant young man with exceptional computer skills, discovered a flaw in Silk Road, a notorious online black market. Silk Road was known for allowing anonymous transactions of illicit products, operating mostly with Bitcoin.

Zhong, exploiting a vulnerability in the system, managed to divert 50,000 Bitcoins in a sophisticated and discreet operation. This feat not only demonstrated the fragility of online security systems at the time, but also marked Zhong as one of the biggest Bitcoin "whales," a term used to describe individuals or entities holding large amounts of cryptocurrencies.
For years, the whereabouts of Zhong and the stolen Bitcoins remained a mystery. While Silk Road was shut down by the FBI in 2013 and its founder, Ross Ulbricht, arrested, Zhong operated in the shadows. His identity and actions were only discovered almost a decade later, after a meticulous investigation by authorities.
Zhong's case not only highlights the vulnerabilities of early-stage cryptocurrencies, but also the importance of robust security on online platforms. Today, with the value of Bitcoin having reached historic highs, the 50,000 stolen Bitcoins are worth a fortune, further highlighting the magnitude of this theft.

While Zhong's story may seem worthy of a Hollywood movie, it serves as a cautionary reminder to the cryptocurrency world about the risks and need for advanced security. As the cryptocurrency market matures, we hope that lessons like these are learned and that security is always a priority.
