Crypto Hacks and Exploits: Monthly Report

  1. The month in one paragraph

    How many incidents, the total taken and recovered, and the attack that mattered most.

    • Incidents this month
    • Total taken
    • Total recovered
  2. Every incident

    Each incident with its date, chain, protocol, attack type, amount taken and the transactions behind it.

    • Amount taken per incident
  3. How attackers got in

    Losses grouped by attack type: code flaws, compromised keys, oracle manipulation, phishing and rug pulls.

    • Losses by attack type
  4. Where the funds went

    The paths stolen funds took through bridges, mixers and exchanges, and what was frozen or returned.

    • Funds bridged
    • Funds frozen or returned
  5. What changed

    Fixes, audits and policy changes that followed, and the patterns worth watching next month.

About

What it answers, and for whom.

Each month brings new exploits: a lending market drained through a price oracle, a bridge key compromised, a token whose deployer pulled the liquidity. This report collects the month's incidents in one dated document, with each loss traced to the transactions that moved the funds.

It is written for people who need the facts quickly and want to check them: security teams, risk desks, journalists and anyone exposed to the protocols involved. Every amount will be cited to its on-chain transactions, so a reader can open the receipt and follow the funds.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. An incident enters the report when an attack transaction is identified on-chain and a public source confirms it; both are recorded with the incident.
  2. Amounts lost are the token amounts that left the victim contracts in the attack transactions, valued at oracle prices at the attack block.
  3. Fund flows follow the attacker addresses forward through bridges, mixers and exchanges, and stop at labelled addresses.
  4. The report is dated: every figure is pinned to a block before its publication date, so later movements appear in the next edition.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What counts as a hack or an exploit?

An incident where funds were taken from a protocol, bridge, exchange or wallet without the owners' consent, through a code flaw, a compromised key or a manipulated price. Rug pulls, where insiders remove liquidity, are listed separately.

How are losses valued?

Each stolen token amount is read from the attack transactions and valued at an on-chain oracle price at the block of the attack, so the value reflects what was taken at that moment rather than today's prices.

Are recovered funds subtracted?

Recoveries and bounties are shown beside each incident as their own transactions. The headline loss stays the amount taken, and the net figure shows what was not returned.

Where do stolen funds usually go?

Most attackers swap tokens into a liquid asset, bridge across chains and try to reach mixers or exchanges. The report follows those hops and names the labelled addresses where the trail stops.

Oracle manipulation
Moving the price a protocol reads, often with a flash loan, so it lends too much or liquidates wrongly.
Rug pull
When a token's creators or insiders withdraw its liquidity or dump their holdings, leaving buyers with tokens they cannot sell.
