Bro protected the seed phrase but forgot to protect the Google account. 💀
This guy transferred BTC from a Coldcard MK4 → CEX to avoid risks from the hardware wallet.
12 hours later:
🔐 Coldcard: SAFE ✅
🏦 CEX: SAFE… for now
📧 Google account: GG 💀
₿ BTC: $750K GONE
According to GoPlus, the attacker doesn’t need any fancy brute-force. Just phishing, malware, cookie theft, password reuse, or taking over the recovery email/phone is enough.
Hardware wallet: “I protected your Bitcoin.”
Google account: “Hold my beer.” 🍺💀
Lesson of the day:
You can cold-store your Bitcoin.
You can’t cold-store your stupidity. 💀
Fellas holding crypto on a CEX—what security layer do you trust most: passkey, hardware key, or 2FA? 👀

🚨 Critical bug in Harmony ($ONE ): under attack again, full network rollback considered
The Harmony network was compromised by a mathematical vulnerability at the protocol level, which allowed attackers to hoard billions of native $ONE tokens “out of thin air”.
🔍 What happened?
Mathematical flock: Thanks to two vulnerabilities in cross-shard receipts, attackers were able to pass quorum checks without proper validator signatures, as well as reuse already used receipts.
Emission scale: According to estimates by on-chain researcher Juiceberg, about 4 billion ONEs have been created (~26% of the total supply), of which at least 2.8 billion have already hit the exchanges. Harmony has not yet confirmed the exact numbers.
Emergency update: Harmony released patch v2026.1.1 for validators, which closed the verification holes and stopped further unauthorized minting.
📉 Market reaction and security measures
The bridge bridge.harmony.one has been temporarily suspended.
The Harmony team published the addresses of 4 wallets of attackers and called on exchanges to freeze the detected funds.
Price collapse: Against the background of the news, the $ONE token fell by almost 39% in 24 hours, and the total capitalization of the project decreased to $11.27 million.
Rollback possibility: The developers are considering the option of restoring the network state to the time of the attack, but a final decision has not yet been made.
⚠️ Unlike the Horizon bridge hack in 2022 (where multisig private keys were compromised), this time the problem arose directly in the logic of transaction confirmation and protocol quorum.

Crypto lost $3.4 billion last year, and almost none of it was the chain breaking. A map of the four floors where money actually gets stolen and the one floor no thief has ever cracked.
Last year, thieves stole more than $3.4 billion in crypto. The single biggest haul is $1.5 billion in one afternoon, was the largest digital heist in human history.
Heres the strange part. In almost none of it did anyone actually hack the blockchain.
Not the cryptography. Not the consensus. Not the chain. All of that did exactly what it was built to do, the entire time the money was walking out the door.
That sounds like a contradiction. It isnt. And once you see why, youll never read a “crypto got hacked” headline the same way again. So lets draw the map. No code. No jargon you cant follow.

What really happened with #coldcard It wasn’t an “AI hack”—it was a 2021 firmware bug. The vulnerability was introduced in Coldcard firmware 4.0.0 in March 2021: devices bypassed their hardware random number generator and fell into key generation via software, predictable, seeded with non-secret chip data.  The specific error is in libngu: the guard uses #ifndef MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG, which only checks whether the macro exists, not whether its value is different from zero.  Result: anyone can reproduce the seed candidates offline and derive addresses to compare them with the blockchain—without touching the device.
The figure keeps growing in waves: from an initial 594 BTC to 1.082 BTC (1,196 addresses) on July 31, then 1.158 BTC, and on August 2 a third wave brought the total to ~1.367 BTC (~$89M) from 4,585 addresses;  today people talk about a fourth wave. Coinkite released an emergency firmware on July 31 for all affected models, but installing it doesn’t fix an already-existing seed.  You must generate a new seed and move the funds. #HackerAlert #bitcoin $BTC

This is a reminder that no wallet is 100% risk-free. Seeing the $BTC cold-wallet attack spread to 4,500 addresses with nearly $89 million in losses shows that security is about more than just storing your crypto offline. It's also about protecting your private keys, verifying every transaction, and staying alert. In crypto, self-custody gives you control—but it also means the responsibility is yours. Stay safe. 🟠🔒 totally insane

🚨 Polymarket hacked for $2.9 million via frontend: users will be refunded
The forecasting platform Polymarket has been hacked. The attackers hacked a third-party vendor and implemented a phishing script into the site's interface. As a result, at least 11 user wallets were affected, from which $2.94 million was withdrawn.
Main:
The threat has been eliminated: The malicious code has already been removed, the platform's smart contracts were not affected.
Compensation: Polymarket officially announced that they will fully refund all victims.
📉 Cryptohacks in June: in brief
This incident added to the statistics of the worst quarter in terms of the number of hacks. In June alone, the crypto market's losses amounted to $74.9 million (29 cases).
Top 3 hacks of the month: Humanity Protocol ($36 million), Secret Network ($4.7 million) and Polymarket ($2.9 million).
Main vulnerability: 43% of all losses for the month occurred due to compromise of private keys. Despite this, Polymarket holds its ground: the platform's TVL now exceeds $450 million, which is 301% more than last year.

🚨 Hacker withdraws $1.66 million from Allbridge Core cross-chain bridge through liquidity manipulation
The Allbridge Core cross-chain platform was attacked, resulting in $1.66 million in cryptocurrency being stolen from liquidity pools on the Solana network.
❓ How the scheme worked:
1. Flash loan: The attacker borrowed $1.12 million in USDC stablecoins and exchanged them for USDT.
2. Price manipulation: The hacker executed a series of 5 “same-asset swaps”, exchanging USDT for USDT. Due to an error in logic, the accounting of both sides of the transaction diverged, which significantly distorted the intra-pool price of the asset.
3. Finale of the attack: The distorted price allowed only 4,000 USDT to be exchanged for $2.24 million USDC. The attacker returned the flash loan and took about $1.66 million in profit.
Current status and consequences:
➡️ Security of funds: Private keys, user wallets, and routes without using liquidity pools were not affected.
➡️ Project actions: Allbridge plans to completely abandon pool exchanges.
➡️ Tracking: The team has already tracked transfers for $1.63 million — the funds were transferred from Solana to a consolidation address on the Ethereum network, after which they were distributed in several directions.
