- - IoTeX suffered a private-key compromise on Feb. 21, with losses estimated near $8.9M by CertiK but closer to $2M according to the project.
- - Phishing schemes accounted for roughly $8.5M in losses, aided by drainer-as-a-service operations such as Angel Drainer and Inferno Drainer.
- - Analysts credited improved risk controls, real-time monitoring and AI-driven code reviews, while attackers in several cases routed proceeds through cross-chain bridges; other notable losses included Foom.Cash at about $2.2M via forged zkSNARK proofs.
