ExVul reports an attacker drained 9.1231 ETH, about $22,770, from the sven.eth wallet using an EIP-7702 authorization its owner had signed. ExVul says neither PodMining nor TAPEETH had a flaw; cryptotimes notes the account is not yet independently confirmed.

Issuers and protocols have frozen about 0.2% of the $387 million taken from Bitget

Chainalysis tied the $387 million Bitget hack to North Korea-linked hackers, saying it pushed their 2026 crypto theft past $1 billion. Its AI cut more than 20 hours of tracing to minutes, while the bill falls on a Bitget user fund the exchange puts above $464 million.

Attacker drains up to $310K from two Safes through a leverage module the owners switched on

Two Safe multisigs lost up to $310K after an attacker impersonated a Safe to get past FlashLoopAdapter, an Aave leverage add-on the owners had enabled. Aave and Safe's core code held, so the loss fell on owners who let a module move funds without signatures.

Scammers used GIWA's reserved chain ID to drain 766 ETH before its mainnet launched

Scammers ran a working copy of Dunamu's unlaunched GIWA network on its reserved chain ID 9134 and drained 766.25 ETH from users. The ID got through an exchange's listing checks, so a matching network ID is now weak evidence that a chain is the real one.

Bitget's CEO doubts the $387.5 million lost through a vendor-linked backend will come back

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen doubts much of the $387.5 million stolen via a backend tied to a third-party security vendor will come back. So far about 0.2% of the loss has been frozen, so the exchange itself is paying for an outsourced security flaw.

Bitget traces its $388 million loss to a flaw in a third-party security product

Bitget says attackers may have used a flaw in a third-party security product to get internal credentials and forge $388 million of withdrawals. The account puts vendor software that can reach a withdrawal system inside an exchange's counterparty risk, alongside its own wallet controls.

Bitget customers withdrew $463 million in 24 hours, more than the $388 million hack took

Bitget customers pulled about $463 million in the first 24 hours after withdrawals reopened, more than the $388 million hackers stole on September 24. The protection fund covers the theft with about $76 million to spare, so the withdrawals now test whether the $5.7 billion left in reserves matches what Bitget owes customers.

Bitget traces its $388 million wallet theft to a flaw in a third-party security product

Bitget said a flaw in a third-party security product gave an attacker the internal credentials used to take about $388 million on September 24. With the product unnamed and no fix confirmed, other companies running it cannot yet check their own exposure.

Bitget presses THORChain to cut off the wallets holding its stolen $387.5 million

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen publicly asked THORChain to refuse service to the wallets that took $387.5 million, after Circle and Tether stopped nearly $318,000. Much of the rest now depends on a no-KYC swap protocol that has declined to block stolen funds in earlier hacks, including its own.

Most of Bitget's $387.5 million hack loss sits untouched in attacker wallets

Bitget now puts its September breach at $387.5 million, and AMLBot estimates $343 million of it sat untouched in 13 attacker wallets on Sept. 25. The phased withdrawals due from Sept. 28 are the better guide to whether customer money is safe.

Bitget's own approval process moved out $388 million on spoofed transaction data

Bitget says attackers took over a wallet backend system and fed its authorization process spoofed data, moving out $387.5 million without stolen keys. For teams running payouts, the data an approver trusts now belongs on the same review list as the keys.

Bitget's own authorization process approved $351.6M in transfers built on spoofed data

Bitget says attackers took over a wallet backend, faked transaction data and got the exchange's own authorization process to move $351.6 million out. No key was reported stolen, so the failure is in where the approvers got their facts.
