someone who lost $3m just sent this message to the hacker... always remember about safety in crypto, never share your seed phrase with anyone and don't click links you don't trust

Post mortem for the September 24th, 2026 exploit of Payy's bridge contract. Based on our investigation, it appears that an attacker submitted an invalid burn proof that Payy’s deployed Noir/Barretenberg verifier accepted. The first burn released 1,828,589.378132 USDC from the Payy rollup even though it appears that the transaction was invalid. A second burn of 1 USDC was paid early by a burn substitutor and later reimbursed. The second transaction released 90,202.820016 USDC to the same receiving wallet. It appears there was a proving-system vulnerability in the Noir/Barretenberg verifier, developed by Aztec. Full report: polybase.notion.site/Payy-US…

The @BBCNews reports that a #reward of up to £10,000 is being offered for information after a young couple were attacked in their home and forced to transfer a substantial amount of #cryptocurrency. The husband suffered significant injuries, and his pregnant wife was threatened with a knife. Police believe the attack may have been planned and targeted. The case comes just one day after we shared @Gart_io's latest report on physical attacks involving #crypto. Across the 305 cases examined, at least 47.2% involved confirmed violence or torture. It is a difficult reminder of the human consequences behind these crimes. If you have information that could help, contact @CrimestoppersUK anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through its website. The reward applies to information given exclusively to Crimestoppers that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. CryptoUK has been raising awareness of this risk for some time. Our webinar with the @metpoliceuk — The Wrench Attack Phenomenon: Are High Value Asset Crypto Users Being Targeted? — a link for which you can find below, explored the physical-security risks facing crypto holders and the threat posed by coercion.

Today at 4:21 UTC Payy’s bridge contract on Ethereum was exploited and drained of its full balance. Investigation is ongoing and we are following incident response guidelines. While we investigate, all Payy Network transactions are paused including deposits, withdrawals, transfers and card transactions. We will continue to communicate updates here.

#PeckShieldAlert n August 2026, the crypto industry experienced 50 major hacks (+67% from July's 30 hacks), resulting in total losses of $136.3M - a 49.5% month-over-month decrease from July's $270M. The Tectonic.cro incident, which resulted in ~$74M in losses, was the 4th-largest crypto theft of the year to date, behind the #Drift, #KelpDAO/#LayerZero, and @COLDCARDwallet exploits. The exploiter managed to bridge out only ~$6M to #Ethereum before Cronos paused the entire chain, leaving the remaining funds mainly stuck on Cronos. The exploiter has since started laundering the stolen funds, bridging them to #BTC (~200K so far) #Top hacks: TectonicFi: $74M Moonwell: $8.7M Termlabs: $8.5M Coinsbuy: $7.9M TAC: $7.5M Injective: $4.8M MANTRA: $3.6M BounceBit: $3M Cosmos Labs: $2.87M aquifer: $2.47M
