HELLO and ATTENTION network!🫂 Be very careful with a token that you did not purchase and simply appeared in your wallet, ignore it, do not accept it, eliminate it, do not keep it, it may be a vulnerability exploit for an attacker to force a drain and even access your wallet! Stay alert, only accept the BNB network tokens that are earned through transactions in BNB, be suspicious of the rest, one example is the token "Y". STAY alert ! #seguranca #hacker #drenagem #fraude $BTC

🚨 Crypto Fail of the Year: Teen Loots $90M from US Government, Gets Busted for Flexing on Telegram 🤡 The blockchain community is buzzing over the ultimate "Darwin Award" in crypto history. John Dagita—the son of a US government IT contractor—managed to drain tens of millions from federal wallets, only to lose it all because of a massive ego. Here’s the tea: 👇 🔹 The "Band for Band" Blunder: John (known as "Lick") got into a heated argument on Telegram with another hacker. To prove he was "richer," he live-streamed his Exodus wallet screen, showing off addresses worth millions. 🔹 Enter ZachXBT: On-chain sleuth ZachXBT tracked the addresses and realized the funds were flowing directly from US Government wallets associated with the Bitfinex seizure. 🔹 Inside Job? John’s father runs CMDSS, a company that held a contract with the US Marshals Service (USMS) to manage seized crypto. While Dad was "securing" the bags, the son was busy spending them—moving $24.9M in one go and another $12.4M just recently in January 2026. 🔹 The Ultimate Flex: In a move of pure arrogance, John actually sent ZachXBT a $1,900 ETH "tip" from his main wallet, effectively signing his own confession on the blockchain. The Fallout: The company website is down, the father has vanished, and the US government is left looking at a $90M hole. It turns out the biggest threat to national security isn't a sophisticated hack—it's a teenager with a point to prove. 🤦‍♂️ Is this the biggest security lapse in US history or just a case of "Father of the Year"? Let’s discuss below! 👇 #CryptoNews #ZachXBT #CyberSecurity #Bitfinex #Hacker

Bedrock Protocol Hack: How Hackers Stole $2 Million and Compromised Data SecurityWell, 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.

$300M Coinbase #Hacker Breaks Silence, Sends Message to ZachXBT and Dumps $22M in ETH The elusive hacker behind the massive $300M+ exploit targeting Coinbase users has resurfaced—and they’re not staying quiet. Two hours ago, the attacker sent a taunting message to on-chain sleuth @zachxbt, a bold move in a case already surrounded by high stakes and high tension. But that wasn’t all. The same wallet also dumped 8,698 ETH, worth approximately $22.12 million, converting it into DAI—a clear signal of an ongoing laundering operation. Hacker Wallet Address: 0xC84C35f57CaEeB5Da8E31D1144c293Ae5851Ab84 The timing of the sale, combined with the public jab at one of crypto’s most respected investigators, suggests the attacker is either growing bolder—or preparing to disappear for good. All eyes are now on this wallet, and the chase just got hotter.

Following yesterday's cryptocurrency crash caused by the news of the Bybit hack, the market is attempting a technical rebound. Historically, the market has always shown the ability to absorb various cyber attacks. 🙃 Bybit is currently searching for wallets to recover the stolen ETH, a complex task given the operating mode of the NK collective, which is responsible for this sophisticated attack. Bitcoin is trying to stay above 95k, where it has been consolidating an interesting structure for a few months (93-98k range).

North Korean hackers hide malicious code in the ETH blockchain🔍 Details of what they have detected According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), it was observed that UNC5342 since February 2025 initiated campaigns where they use EtherHiding to store encrypted malicious payloads within smart contracts or transactions on Ethereum/BNB. In that modus operandi: The attackers create fake 'job offers', contacting developers or people in the blockchain space via LinkedIn or other platforms. Victims download files as if it were part of a technical test or interview; those files contain malicious loaders that, when executed, query a smart contract that delivers the next malicious step.
