hackeralert

A recent report shows hackers can now move funds within seconds after an attack begins.
Data from 255+ hack incidents (~$4B total) reveals:
• 76% of stolen funds were transferred out before the hack became public
• Nearly 50% of funds moved through cross-chain bridges
• About 49% of funds are still untouched — hackers are waiting for better exit conditions
In many cases, funds have already passed through multiple wallets before the community even realizes something is wrong.
What This Data Really Means
Three major shifts are happening:
1. Hacks are happening faster than ever
2. Laundering is slower but far more sophisticated
3. Cross-chain infrastructure is becoming the highway for illicit flows
Crypto is entering a new phase:
Speed is alpha — even for hackers.
How Binance Is Upgrading Its Defenses

While attackers accelerate, the defense side is evolving just as quickly.
A key direction is clear:
Security is becoming a default layer, not just an optional feature.
Security Center in Wallet

Key capabilities:
• Wallet risk scanning
• Alerts for suspicious or dangerous addresses
• Smart contract permission checks
This allows users to detect threats before trading, rather than after losses occur.
AI-Driven Fraud Detection

Modern anti-scam systems now rely on:
• Behavioral analysis
• Transaction pattern recognition
• Real-time alerts
This is no longer just blacklist filtering.
It is behavior-based detection.
SAFU — The Last Line of Defense

The SAFU fund continues to function as:
• A buffer during major incidents
• A trust layer for the ecosystem
Simply put:
Security today is no longer a single barrier.
It is a multi-layered defense ecosystem.
SignalX Take
The most important shift is not the amount stolen.
It’s the change in hacker behavior.
2020–2022
Hack → Run → Cash out quickly
2024–2026
Hack → Disperse → Wait → Launder gradually
Hackers today are:
• More patient
• More strategic
• Operating with the mindset of an investment fund
⸻
The Real Battlefield
Previously:
Hack = Technique
Now:
Hack = Speed + Psychology + Strategy
And the real battle is:
Bots vs Bots
AI vs AI
Speed vs Speed
In this market…
A 2-second delay can sometimes be too late.

你可以把BNB想象成 “币安这个商业帝国的‘积分’”。这个帝国包括全球最大的加密货币交易所（像淘宝）、一条自己的公链（像支付宝的蚂蚁链）、以及一堆其他业务。
现在是什么情况？（当前走势）
简单说：BNB这个“积分”的价格，跟“币安帝国”的兴衰牢牢绑在一起。帝国生意好，积分就值钱；帝国遇到麻烦，积分就贬值。它现在在一个很高的位置，但有点“看人脸色”的味道。
为啥它可能继续涨？（利好消息）
“平台利润”烧毁：币安交易所每个季度都会拿一部分利润来回购BNB并销毁，这就像公司拿出真金白银把自己的股票买回来烧掉。总量越来越少，东西自然就更值钱。这是它最核心的上涨动力。“自家地盘”很热闹：币安有自己的区块链（BSC链），上面也有很多项目。这条链越活跃，使用BNB当“燃气费”的需求就越大，BNB就越有用，不像有些币只能干看着。“平台特权”：在币安交易所里，用BNB交手续费能打折；参加新币抢购（打新）也必须用BNB。这就像在腾讯生态里用Q币，有实际用途，不愁没人要。老大带飞：如果比特币大哥和整个市场行情好，来币安交易的人就多，BNB也能跟着涨。
有啥让人担心的地方？（风险警告）
“帝国”的麻烦事：去年币安被美国罚了天价巨款，创始人也被抓了。这就像公司董事长出了事，公司股票肯定暴跌。虽然现在暂时平稳了，但谁也不知道未来还会不会有新的监管大棒砸下来。这是BNB最大的风险，没有之一。“一荣俱荣，一损俱损”：BNB太依赖币安一家公司了。万一币安交易所出了啥问题（比如被黑客攻击、用户大量流失），BNB就会直接“膝盖斩”，不像比特币那样去中心化。价格也不低了：BNB也涨到了600美元左右的历史高位，本身就有回调的压力。竞争激烈：其他交易所（如OKX等）也在发力，会抢走币安的一些生意。
总结：接下来怎么看？
往上冲的标志：币安公司本身平安无事，业务越来越好，并且BNB价格能突破前高（比如650-700美元），那就可能开启新的上涨空间。往下掉的信号：任何关于币安公司的负面新闻，比如又被监管机构调查、罚款，或者交易量大幅下滑，都可能导致BNB暴跌。从技术上看，如果跌破了 550美元 这类关键支撑，就要小心了。
给你的大白话建议：
买BNB，相当于投资“币安公司”：你的信心主要来自于你是否看好币安这家公司未来的发展。你得经常关注币安老板（CZ）和公司的新闻。警惕“黑天鹅”：最大的风险就是突如其来的坏消息，所以仓位别太重，心里要随时准备着它会因为一个新闻而突然大跌。它的实用性是护身符：因为它有实实在在的用途（手续费、打新、链上燃气），只要币安帝国不垮，它就有基本盘在，不像那些纯炒作的空气币。
一句话总结：BNB是“成也币安，败也币安”。它的命脉掌握在币安公司的手里和监管机构的态度里。风平浪静就跟着吃肉，狂风暴雨它第一个挨揍。 #bnb #币安八周年 #HackerAlert $BNB

#RussiaCrypto
According to local media reports, the Russian government has imposed a six-year ban on crypto mining in 10 regions due to the industry's high power consumption. The ban takes effect on Jan. 1 2025 and ends on March 15, 2031. It includes seasonal restrictions in key cryptocurrency mining regions to prevent energy blackouts. The restrictions align with Russia’s cryptocurrency mining laws signed by the president in August and October 2024.

2️⃣ Hacker Breaches 15 X Accounts, Nets $500K Boosting Bogus Memecoins: ZachXBT ❓
#HackerAlert
According to the onchain sleuth ZachXBT, over $500,000 in funds stolen via memecoin phishing scams were connected to one threat actor. He reported that the perpetrator tricked X users into handing them control over their accounts by impersonating the X team and issuing fake copyright infringement notices. ZachXBT claims that over 15 X accounts were compromised this way, including those belonging to Kick, Cursor, The Arena, Brett and Alex Blania. Many of these X accounts have large audiences, with well over 200,000 followers who are mainly memecoin enthusiasts looking to catch the next hot tip.

3️⃣ Montenegro Court Rejects Do Kwon’s Extradition Appeal ▶️
#Montenegro
Montenegro’s Constitutional Court has reportedly dismissed Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon’s extradition appeal. The court cited legal inconsistencies in Kwon’s appeal, effectively upholding an earlier ruling favouring his extradition. This decision is significant as the international extradition case will potentially set a precedent for cross-border accountability in crypto.

4️⃣ Over 30% Of South Koreans Invest In Crypto Assets 🔍
#SouthKoreaCrypto
According to the South Korean media outlet Yonhap News, the number of crypto users in the country increased by 610,000 in November after Donald Trump won the United States presidential election. Representative Lim Kwang-Hyun of the Democratic Party of Korea shared data showing that digital asset investors in the country at the end of November totalled 15.6 million. Notably, with a population of 51.7 million, this means that over 30% of its citizens are crypto holders. Yonhap said the data was collected and released following the country’s new regulations on crypto exchanges. This is also the first time statistical data related to crypto has been released in the country.

5️⃣ Little-Known Canadian Crypto Firm Matador Adds Bitcoin To Its Books 💸
#MatadorTechnologies
Canadian real-world asset tokenisation firm Matador Technologies has reportedly become the latest company to incorporate BTC in its treasury. The firm's board of directors unanimously approved adding Bitcoin and “USD-denominated assets” to its balance sheet as part of its “long-term capital preservation strategy.” The firm is also planning to convert the majority of its cash balance sheet from Canadian dollars to US dollars.

Sunny Ray, president of Matador, stated,

Matador’s Board and management believe in using Bitcoin to future-proof our treasury. This step also supports our mission to explore using Bitcoin as a platform for our gold-based products.

Crypto hacks surge over 130% in Q1 2025
Raj Gokal, co-founder of the Solana blockchain, has become the target of a serious cyberattack. Hackers published his personal identification documents on the compromised Instagram account of rapper Migos. The leak appears to be tied to an unsuccessful extortion attempt — reportedly demanding over $4.3 million.

🔐 Extortion Message: “You Should Have Paid the 40 BTC”
Circulating online are photos of Gokal and his wife, alongside their IDs and passports — resembling typical KYC (Know Your Customer) data used on regulated crypto platforms.
The sensitive documents were shared on the official Instagram page of rapper Migos, which was apparently hacked as well. A caption under one of the posts read: “You should have paid the 40 BTC” — a statement that led many to speculate the leak followed a failed ransom attempt.
At current Bitcoin prices, that would equate to a ransom demand of over $4.3 million. Instagram has since removed the post.

🧠 Social Engineering Suspected
Renowned Web3 investigator ZachXBT believes the attack was a result of social engineering — where cybercriminals tricked their way into accessing Gokal’s personal accounts and data.
“Raj’s accounts were likely compromised and used in an extortion attempt. Since he didn’t pay, the attackers trolled him by leaking the data through Migos’ Instagram,” said ZachXBT.

Interestingly, a week before the incident, Gokal had already warned his followers on X that someone was trying to access his email and social media accounts.

📈 Crypto Hacks in 2025: A Dangerous Spike
This attack is just one in a wave of escalating crypto hacks in 2025.
🔹 Q1 2025: According to security firm PeckShield, there were over 60 major hacking incidents, resulting in $1.63 billion in losses — a 131% increase from $706 million in Q1 2024.
🔹 The largest breach targeted Bybit, while Q2 saw the Cetus Protocol on the Sui network lose over $223 million.
🔹 Following the Coinbase data breach confirmed on May 15, reported compensation claims could exceed $400 million — further highlighting that DeFi and centralized platforms remain prime targets.

⚠️ A Call for Caution
With the rising number of cyberattacks, the need for increased vigilance is critical — especially when dealing with unknown links or individuals posing as support staff from crypto exchanges.

Hackers Exploited the Account to Promote Fraudulent Tokens
The @TrumpDailyPosts account on the X platform (formerly Twitter) has been hacked and is being misused to spread fake meme coin addresses. The compromised account continues to actively promote several fraudulent tokens, including a fake token named $POWER.
According to Scam Sniffer, a Web3 platform focused on combating scams, the hackers not only post but also quickly delete content related to these fraudulent schemes. Users are advised to verify the credibility of any investment promises, especially those originating from compromised accounts.

Connection to Other Organized Scams
Investigations revealed that the gas source used to create the fake $POWER token address was linked to the same platform involved in a recent hack of the Farcaster account, owned by a MetaMask co-founder.
During that incident, hackers promoted fraudulent meme coins and were accused of generating over 1,000 SOL (Solana). These activities point to a well-organized cybercriminal gang targeting prominent crypto figures and organizations.
Social Media as an Emerging Tool for Fraud
A troubling trend in the crypto space is the increasing use of social media accounts to promote fraudulent tokens. Hackers exploit high-profile accounts to create an illusion of trustworthiness and maximize their financial gains.
The hacking of @TrumpDailyPosts is yet another example of how cybercriminals are adapting their methods. By leveraging fraudulent meme coins and social media, they are creating new ways to deceive investors and extract illicit profits.
How to Protect Yourself From These Scams
Given these trends, it is crucial for both users and platforms to pay closer attention to identifying fraudulent activities. Users should exercise extreme caution when considering any investment opportunities, especially involving meme coins or less-known tokens.
Safety should always take precedence over the promise of profit. Verify sources, thoroughly check addresses, and avoid suspicious projects promising unrealistic returns. The crypto space offers numerous opportunities but also comes with heightened risks that require vigilance and proactive measures.

On Wednesday night, a mysterious message appeared on the Ethereum blockchain — a direct mockery aimed at one of the most prominent crypto investigators. The sender? A hacker linked to the recent massive data breach at Coinbase, which compromised the accounts of over 69,000 users and may cost the exchange hundreds of millions of dollars.
The taunt, simply reading "L bozo", was embedded in a transaction and meant to ridicule the investigator. The hacker even included a link to a viral meme video featuring NBA Hall of Famer James Worthy smoking a cigar, escalating the provocation.

💰 $44.9 Million Laundered Through THORChain
But the trolling wasn’t all. On Tuesday, the attacker began liquidating stolen assets, converting 17,800 ETH into DAI stablecoins — worth roughly $44.9 million — using THORChain, a decentralized cross-chain trading protocol.
📉 The swaps occurred at an average ETH price of $2,528.

💼 One major swap involved 9,080 ETH for $22.8 million in DAI.
Using THORChain allowed the hacker to bypass centralized exchanges, complicating tracking efforts and signaling a new level of sophistication in crypto laundering tactics.

🔓 What Happened at Coinbase?
Coinbase confirmed that the breach took place in December 2024, but it wasn’t disclosed publicly until May 2025. The hackers gained access to sensitive personal data of around 69,000 users.
Soon after, they allegedly demanded $20 million in Bitcoin as ransom, threatening to leak the stolen data on the dark web. Coinbase refused to pay and instead offered the same amount as a reward for information leading to the attackers.

📉 Financial Fallout: Coinbase in Crisis
The breach has severely damaged Coinbase’s reputation. On Wednesday, its stock (COIN) closed down 0.92% at $258.97, continuing a 36% monthly decline.
Security experts claim the exchange ignored prior warnings of suspicious activity as early as December, a failure that now haunts its image and user trust.

🛡️ Binance and Kraken Also Targeted
Coinbase wasn’t the only target. Binance and Kraken also faced recent social engineering attempts, where attackers posed as users and tried to bribe support agents.
Binance’s AI systems successfully flagged and blocked the suspicious messages. Kraken reported no customer data losses either, thanks to strong internal protocols.

🔚 A Glimpse Into the Future of Crypto Crime?
This case is more than a breach — it's a bold show of power by a cybercriminal who’s fluent in DeFi and unafraid to mock those chasing him. With advanced laundering tactics and an open taunt of blockchain sleuths, we may be witnessing the next evolution in crypto-based crime.
Coinbase may recover financially — but the reputational scars will be harder to erase.
