Read MoreAnalysis of the three major Cream Finance exploits in 2021 totaling over $190 million in losses, examining flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation, and how bytecode analysis reveals vulnerable lending logic.
Read MoreAnalysis of the December 2021 BadgerDAO hack where attackers injected malicious scripts via a compromised Cloudflare API key, tricking users into granting unlimited token approvals.
Read MoreAnalysis of the August 2021 Poly Network hack where an attacker exploited cross-chain contract permissions to steal $611 million across three blockchains—then returned it all.
Read MoreTechnical analysis of the September 2022 Wintermute exploit where attackers cracked a vanity address private key using a known vulnerability in the Profanity tool, stealing $160 million.
Read MoreAnalysis of the March 2022 Ronin Network hack where North Korean attackers compromised 5 of 9 validator keys to steal $625 million from Axie Infinity's bridge—undetected for six days.
Read MoreTechnical analysis of the February 2022 Wormhole bridge hack where an attacker exploited a deprecated Solana function to bypass signature verification, minting 120,000 ETH from thin air.
Read MoreAnalysis of the August 2022 Nomad Bridge hack where a faulty initialization allowed anyone to drain $190 million by copying and pasting the attacker's transaction—no coding skills required.
