#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

🚨SlowMist TI Alert🚨 💸 @Ostium Loss: ~11,862,445 USDC 🔍 Root Cause: An authorized oracle signer was used to submit malicious price reports through a registered forwarder. The attacker provided validly signed but manipulated oracle data, which was accepted by the oracle verification mechanism. By repeatedly opening and closing trades with artificially favorable prices, the attacker generated artificial profits and drained funds from the OstiumVault. 📌 Attacker Address: 0xd1794196f0fc99c7f27970e661597d77d9a85869 📌 Victim Address: 0x20d419a8e12c45f88fda7c5760bb6923cee27f98 (vault) 📌 Vulnerable Contract: 0x0aebc4094b60ea4e21e937e80dafdd58c07c5ebb (OstiumPrivatePriceUpKeep impl) & 0xd456939e54f68ef9b0be62abb2ec4a37397cb814 (OstiumVerifier) Impact: The attacker exploited compromised oracle privileges to submit manipulated price reports and execute repeated profitable trades, draining ~11.86M USDC from the vault.
