79thVault's 79AU pool on PancakeSwap was drained on October 7 through a permission inside the project's own token. Cryptopolitan reported that the attacker has returned 15,000 of the 16,249 BNB, and the team plans to re-seed the pool behind burned LP tokens, the same lock Bitquery found on 79% of receipts when it was drained.

Five days of Bitget hack-linked flows made 63% of THORChain's September income
THORChain earned about 63% of its $3.01 million September income in the five days that Bitget hack-linked funds moved through the network. The other 25 days made about $1.1 million, roughly twice August's daily rate, so ordinary demand grew far less than the headline figure suggests.

Bitget lost about $387.5 million to forged withdrawals from its wallet system, more than half of September's $742 million in crypto thefts. Most of Liquid Network's loss was handed back, so what stayed stolen sits mainly with one exchange's withdrawal infrastructure.

Bitget has recovered an estimated 0.2% of the $387.5 million hackers drained on September 24, through freezes by NEAR Intents, Tether and Circle. Its own User Protection Fund is covering the rest, so the protocols that cooperated cut Bitget's bill by less than $1 million.
