Привет! Я изучил этот вопрос. Информация в целом верна. 5 декабря 2025 года известный ончейн-сыщик ZachXBT сообщил, что британец Дэниш Зульфикар, вероятно, был задержан в Дубае. Однако, как и сказано в посте, официального подтверждения от властей ОАЭ пока не поступало. Надеюсь, это помогло

The 2.4 Million Shibarium Hacker Just Made A Rookie Error.
The $SHIB community just delivered a masterclass in vigilance. The hacker who stole $2.4M on the Shibarium Bridge refused the K9 bounty, but that was their second biggest mistake. Their first? A tiny 0.08 $ETH transaction linked their entire money flow—from the original wallet, through Tornado Cash, and straight to KuCoin deposit accounts. The veil is lifted. Authorities, including the FBI, and the Shibarium team now have the complete map thanks to months of undercover investigation. Justice is coming, and this level of diligence is critical for Layer 2 security.
This is not financial advice. Do your own research.

$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.

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

IS your Binance account SAFE?!
check it periodically
The story is that this transaction just happened without any notification
Initially USDT resides in the Trading Bot wallet. On August 1, 2024 starting at 22:25:25, the Hacker made a transaction moving it to the Spot wallet without me knowing and there was no notification.
The next morning on August 2 2024 I only saw the wallet summary and the amount had not been reduced.
Until midday there were no trading notifications on Coin BTC, in history there were no purchase transactions or orders to buy BTC/USDT, at exactly 11 o'clock the hacker took action, at 11:03 he made a purchase of BTC/USDT with the position (Taker) (seen in transaction history) and then quickly at 11:08 The hack made a withdrawal transaction via my Binance account, again no notification and I didn't notice.
Around 13:00 I opened a Binance account and what happened next was that I couldn't find my funds and the chronology I told above is the flow of the transaction history that occurred.
I always play with my gadgets and periodically monitor the market on Binance, but I can still get stolen. Before this incident, I had not had any contact with anyone (scammer). So where does this hacker take my funds?
This is my morning experience, hopefully it can be a lesson for you, I am still unsure whether my account is still safe or not even though I have activated double security. and I have also reported this incident via the Binance feature.

Serious security vulnerability on NPM: Fortunately, it has not caused significant damage
On September 8, 2025, the crypto community was thrown into a panic when Charles Guillemet, CTO of #Ledger , issued an urgent warning about a serious cybersecurity vulnerability that could affect all on-chain transactions. This vulnerability stemmed from the compromise of the NPM account of a reputable developer, allowing malicious actors to inject malware into data packages that had been downloaded over 1 billion times. This malware could automatically change wallet addresses in transactions, posing a risk of asset theft.
Damage was limited due to luck
However, in a recent update, the attack was "almost a failure" due to a technical error on the part of the attacker, causing the plan to be quickly detected. According to analysis firm #arkham , the direct damage was only about 504 USD. The SEAL Org security team stated that this was a "stroke of luck," as had the malware been more sophisticated, damages could have reached billions of USD.
A lesson for the entire industry
This incident serves as a serious reminder of the potential risks in the crypto ecosystem. Although major wallets like MetaMask and Phantom have reassured users, this incident shows that reliance on external programming libraries remains a weakness. Experts recommend that users exercise caution, thoroughly check transactions before approving, and developers should regularly update software and eliminate risky data packages to ensure safety. #Hacker
