October has been an absolute nightmare for crypto security ↓ > Ledger – $90M stolen through tampered hardware wallets sold by resellers > MetaMask – infrastructure security incident triggered precautionary validator exits > 79thVault – $14M+ drained from liquidity pools > PaperTrade – $1.28M extracted through price manipulation > NEAR Intents – $3.8M exploit forced cross-chain services offline > Gamdom – $3M+ stolen after hot-wallet infrastructure breach > NGRAVE – official wallet notifications hijacked, $2.5M+ stolen through phishing > UNCX – vesting contracts exploited across 4 blockchains > Autheo – 219M unauthorized THEO minted, mainnet halted > Qubic – 1,404 wallets drained due to predictable recovery seeds > Affluent – $1.05M lost through a smart contract minting exploit > Cysic – bridge exploited to mint 10M unauthorized CYS > BiFi – $165K lost through an interest-accounting vulnerability > SecuX – official wallet app used to distribute phishing links > XRP Ledger – critical decade-old bug that could mint XRP patched before exploitation > Pirate Chain – 39.8M ARRR illegally minted through a validation bug And October isn't even over yet. It really looks like the biggest AI PMF is exploiting crypto infrastructure.
