Breaking: A standard introduced in $ETH's May 2025 hard fork is now being actively exploited to drain billions from Binance.
The exploit vector appears to target the new protocol-level changes, and the contagion risk is real—this could cascade across all DeFi infrastructure that adopted the standard.
This is a textbook example of why frequent hard forks and rushing new protocol features into production is a systemic risk. Every new standard is a new attack surface, and when it's baked into the base layer, the blast radius is enormous.
Watching closely for technical breakdown of the exploit mechanism.
