Security incidents keep piling up.

Salus is opening 10 free security checkup slots for Web3 projects.

You don't need to hand over much:
• Pentest: no core source code, no internal network access. We work black-box from your external surface.
• Smart contract review: just the case from one of our past pentests (shared with the client's permission):

A project's dashboard subdomain still pointed to a hosting address nobody owned.

We claimed it, and the project's own domain started serving our test page.

No source code, no internal access. Just one forgotten DNS record.

About 3,600 SOL from the Binance theft reached a HitBTC @hitbtc hot wallet at 08:51 UTC on November 3, after being routed through multiple paths using automated scripts and a peeling-chain pattern.

Once again, HitBTC has surfaced in the laundering trail of a major crypto sly reported, roughly $22M in illicit funds had flowed into HitBTC by July this year. chaincatcher.com/en/article/227…

In the $1.4B Bybit hack, at least $3.68M linked to North Korean money-laundering networks also reached the platform. Bybit’s subsequent requests for assistance with its investigation were met with little response.

Hackers often rely on nested services to launder stolen funds. HitBTC has featured in these arrangements across multiple cases, frequently serving as a key link in DPRK's laundering operations.

Nested services—such as instant swap providers, smaller exchanges, and OTC desks—connect to larger platforms via APIs to access their liquidity.

On-chain activity reveals only the platform’s addresses. The platform’s internal records identify the intermediary, while the actual end user remains hidden one layer deeper.

🧵1/3 @MercadoBitcoin – linked hot wallets moved funds across multiple chains in ordinary signed transfers.

On Ethereum (~06:24–06:48 UTC), outflows hit the published EVM destination, then fanned into 7 onward wallets (~3.5k ETH + mixed tokens).

On Solana, Fireblocks custody me window into the published SOL destination, then 8 onward wallets.

Funds are already fragmenting past the first hop.

The CryptoBilis exploiter deposited another 1,200 ETH (~$2.78M) into Tornado Cash on October 27, 18 days after the mass wallet theft.

Ledger @Ledger confirmed an unauthorized hardware implant in one victim’s device on October 11.
x.com/Ledger_Support…

The attacker used hat had received funds on October 9, to send 600.1 ETH each to two fresh wallets.

Minutes later, the two wallets began depositing in parallel. Between 14:24:59 and 14:27:23 UTC, each made six deposits of 100 ETH — 12 deposits in total.

The October 9 theft affected users who bought Ledger devices through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis.

Bitquery estimates losses at ~$102M across multiple chains.
Situation Update: Ledger can confirm that one of the impacted users’ devices contained an unauthorized hardware implant. Ledger is reaching out to impacted users as part of the ongoing investigation. If you have information regarding the investigation, please reach out to Ledger’s bounty program: bounty@ledger.fr. As a measure of precaution CryptoBilis confirmed it has ceased sales of all hardware wallet inventory until the investigation is concluded. Ledger is in active communication with CryptoBilis on next steps.

Ledger is working with the appropriate authorities to bring the bad actors to justice, and thanks @SEAL_911 for their collaborative support on the investigation. We have no indication that Ledger’s security infrastructure, systems or services have been compromised. As a reminder, Ledger recommends users who purchased a Ledger device from this reseller to not initiate set up if they have not yet done so. If you have set up your Ledger device, consider moving assets to a new Ledger signer (with a new seed).

Security is a constantly evolving landscape; Ledger is continuously adding security mitigations and is working on further, enhanced anti-tampering solutions.

Scammers often try to take advantage of incidents like this. Rely only on official Ledger channels for updates, and remember: Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase.

For assistance or questions, contact Ledger customer support through our official channels: support.ledger.com

Tether has blacklisted 9 addresses linked to the @CoinDCX incident, freezing 2,212,850.30 USDT. The freeze took effect on October 22, 2026 at 22:45:39 UTC.

The trail began when our investigator @DarcyAri flagged an unusual transfer of roughly 15.99M USDT and kept tracking how d sent to exchange deposit addresses.
Original post: x.com/DarcyAri/statu…

@smtgpt initially said no breach had occurred. We then raised questions based on the PoR address transfers and TRX distribution patterns, which drew responses from the parties involved and gave Tether verifiable on-chain evidence to act on.

Salus will keep supporting the investigation and recovery work.

The Drift Protocol exploiter has begun moving funds from another long-dormant wallet, depositing 4,600 ETH (~$11.23M) into Tornado Cash on October 21, 2026. The two wallets we have tracked have now deposited a combined 30,310 ETH.

Following the 19,600 ETH in our previous update, a further 6,110 ETH, bringing that wallet’s total to 25,710 ETH. At 06:55:47 UTC today, it forwarded 3.9773 ETH to 0xd3feed…f6c7.

Less than five minutes later, the receiving wallet began its first outgoing transfers after roughly 202 days. It had accumulated 24,881.97 ETH from 11 wallets on April 1, with its main funding route traced to USDC bridged from Solana via CCTP and converted to ETH.

Between 07:00:35 and 07:19:23 UTC, it made 46 deposits of 100 ETH. At that cutoff, 20,285.82 ETH remained in the wallet.
The Drift Protocol exploiter deposited 19,600 ETH (~$46.81M) into Tornado Cash in 196 transactions on October 20, 2026, moving funds held for roughly 202 days, according to the our Tornado monitoring system.

On April 1, the Solana perpetuals platform suffered an estimated $285M engineering and an administrative takeover, according to Chainalysis.

The exploiter bridged part of the funds to Ethereum via CCTP, converted them into ETH and parked them in 0xaa843e…57c1. That wallet made its first outgoing transaction today.

As of October 20, the wallet still held approximately 6,114.15 ETH (~$14.60M).

Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift’s Security Council administrative powers.

This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved multi-week preparation and staged execution, including the use of durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions that delayed execution.

According to our Tornado monitoring system, the Aztec Connect exploiter deposited 1,255.8 ETH (~$3.01M) into Tornado Cash in 30 transactions on October 19, 2026.

On June 14, the attacker exploited a settlement-validation flaw in the deprecated Aztec Connect contracts, stealing approximately $2.19M in assets, including 908.987 ETH, DAI, wstETH and Yearn vault tokens.

After holding the assets for roughly four months, the attacker redeemed the vault tokens and converted the token holdings into an additional 346.767 ETH on October 19.

The proceeds and existing ETH were then deposited in batches: 12×100, 5×10, 5×1 and 8×0.1 ETH.

All six stolen ERC-20 balances are now zero.
We are investigating a potential exploit affecting Aztec Connect. ~$2.1m was transferred from the immutable smart contract in transaction:

etherscan.io/tx/0x074ec9317…

Aztec Connect was deprecated 3 years ago. Aztec Labs holds no admin keys or control over the system; it cannot be paused or upgraded by us.

We will share further updates in due course.

On October 11, a content creator received a lucrative offer for a commercial shoot. The organizers paid a deposit upfront to gain their trust, then lured them to Thailand. Upon arrival, the victim was taken to an isolated house, where they faced the risk of being sold to another ing was wrong, the victim contacted family and friends and feigned illness to buy time. According to the victim, the prospective buyers disputed the agreed price because of their apparent illness. An argument broke out, temporarily halting the transaction and buying crucial time for rescue. After receiving a request for help from the victim’s family and friends, we worked with police to pinpoint their location using phone-related leads concerning those involved, photographs the victim had taken along the journey, and a photograph of a food delivery order. We ultimately helped secure the victim’s rescue

Police subsequently took those involved in for questioning and continued examining their immigration records, travel in border areas, and possible involvement in irregular border crossings. The investigation remains ongoing

The window for intervention before victims are transferred across the Thai–Myanmar border is extremely narrow. Once they have been taken across, rescue becomes very difficult. Even when an overseas job offer includes an upfront deposit, verify the employer, the actual work location, and the people arranging the engagement

According to our Tornado monitoring system, the Triple-A @TripleAHQ attacker moved 4,970 ETH, worth approximately $12.4 million, into Tornado Cash.

In July, the attacker stole assets from payment provider Triple-A’s own treasury, with publicly estimated losses of approximately bridging the funds to Ethereum and swapping assets, the attacker split the funds between two intermediary addresses on September 6.

On October 9, the attacker routed both streams through a single wallet and deposited them into Tornado Cash in 49 transactions of 100 ETH and seven transactions of 10 ETH. One stream included funds from earlier mixer withdrawals.
On 25 July 2026, Triple-A identified unauthorized access to certain wallets containing the company’s own digital assets.

Client funds were not affected. Triple-A does not provide digital assets custody on behalf of its clients, and client funds are held separately in trust h safeguarding institutions that were not exposed.

As a precaution, certain services were temporarily placed into maintenance mode for approximately three hours while we secured the affected infrastructure and completed security checks. All services have since been restored, and transactions and settlements are processing normally across all markets.

The incident affected only Triple-A’s own treasury assets. Triple-A remains well capitalised, is able to meet all its liabilities and continues to operate globally at normal service levels. The financial impact is limited to specific operational accounts and is being fully absorbed from Triple-A’s treasury reserves.

We are working with internal and external cybersecurity experts, blockchain forensics specialists and the relevant authorities, including the Singapore Police Force, to investigate the incident, trace the affected assets and support recovery efforts.

Clients with questions should contact their dedicated account manager or email support@triple-a.io.

🚨@RevenueFamily involves malicious approvals. The perpetrators submit users’ permit signatures to obtain unlimited permission to spend their USDG, then immediately call transferFrom. The approval and fund transfer are completed in the same transaction, draining users’ wallets
it 20%/80% between two hacker addresses. This distribution structure resembles Inferno’s drainer-as-a-service model, and its promotional approach matches FomoPeek’s model of using KOLs to carry out scams

We have conducted comprehensive tracing and forensic analysis of the funds stolen from @bitget . The funds are currently held at the addresses listed below, although some remain in motion.

Based on our previous experience responding to incidents involving North Korean threat ezing these assets is likely to be highly challenging. We recommend that Bitget adopt a white-hat bounty program similar to @Bybit_Official ’s model, incentivizing more leading security firms and independent researchers to continue monitoring and tracing the stolen funds.
