Four more crypto hacks land in the days after Binance

Days after the record Binance hack, four more attacks hit crypto between Friday and Monday, draining more than $146 million according to early estimates from Brazil’s largest exchange, an unnamed EU entity and a dozen DeFi websites, more an amount not recorded with BTCPay merchants.

What’s the scoop?

• Bitcoin market: The largest stock exchange in Brazil on pause deposits and withdrawals Monday after a security incident, saying customers had lost nothing. Hypernative Security Company estimates more than $40 million was spent on at least 10 blockchains, a figure the exchange has not confirmed.

• The mystery of the 106 million dollars: Detective Onchain ZachXBT said an EU entity is suspected of losing more than $106 million across multiple exchange accounts on November 1, with some funds converted to privacy coin Monero. He is convinced that “this is NOT the Lazarus group”, the North Korean hackers. Neither the victim nor the exchanges have been named.

• BTCPay: Attackers stole Bitcoin and Litecoin from hot wallets on outdated copies of BTCPay Server, a self-hosted payment processor for merchants, running version 2.4.1 or earlier. BTCPay did not indicate the total losses.

• Name.com: As of Friday evening, 12 DeFi sites registered with Name.com, including Kintsu and Origami, were redirected to a wallet drainer, and The Block trace approximately $138,000 stolen.
