Garden, a bitcoin swapping protocol, was hacked shortly after announcing significant growth, losing $11 million. Although no user funds were affected and the protocol remains intact, the company is investigating the breach and has offered a bounty to the hacker for a peaceful resolution.

DPRK hackers have successfully stolen approximately $137 million from users of the Tron blockchain. The attack involved sophisticated phishing techniques and targeted the platform's infrastructure, highlighting ongoing security vulnerabilities in cryptocurrency networks.

The official Stellar Blade account on the platform X was hacked, leading to unauthorized posts promoting a fake token and phishing schemes. Users were warned against engaging with the posts, which falsely promised airdrops and in-game rewards. The Stellar Blade team is working on recovering the account and advised the community to remain cautious.

Nearly 28% of the $1.4 billion stolen from Bybit has become untraceable, according to CEO Ben Zhou. The funds have been funneled through mixers and decentralized platforms, complicating recovery efforts. Zhou urged bounty hunters to assist in freezing stolen assets, with some success reported.

Hacking groups, including those affiliated with the North Korean government, are utilizing a new method called EtherHiding to distribute malware via public cryptocurrency blockchains. This technique embeds malware within smart contracts, providing a decentralized and nearly untouchable platform for cybercriminals to operate, thus enhancing the resilience against law enforcement actions.

The U.S. government has seized approximately $774 million in cryptocurrency linked to North Korean cybercriminal activities. This operation is part of ongoing efforts to disrupt the funding of illicit activities supported by the North Korean regime, particularly through hacking and ransomware schemes.

North Korean hackers have reportedly stolen over $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, surpassing previous records, according to blockchain analysis firm Elliptic. The majority of these hacks have involved social engineering tactics rather than exploiting technical vulnerabilities, marking a significant shift in the approach of these cybercriminals. The stolen funds are believed to be used to support the regime's nuclear weapons program.
