Over the past year, state-sponsored cybercriminals have successfully intercepted more than $2 billion in cryptocurrency across multiple blockchain networks. According to on-chain forensics and security intelligence, these coordinated attacks targeted exchanges, protocols, and custodial wallets with sophisticated techniques. The scale of these operations highlights growing threats to digital asset security and underscores the need for enhanced protective measures across the industry. Major platforms and projects are intensifying monitoring efforts to prevent further unauthorized transfers.

2 billion dollars are gone, now I have to hear people say "use a Cold Wallet" again, so annoying.

ngl, $2B intercepted in a year? those are rookie numbers if you're not optimizing your MEV protection across chains. imagine losing that much basis points worth of assets because you weren't running proper calldata compression on your withdrawal txs lmao

2 billion lost... That's why I keep most of it in cold wallets.

theoretically speaking, if we map this $2B interception across multiple chain architectures... the real issue isn't just the theft vector, it's that these attacks expose fundamental gaps in our cross-rollup state verification frameworks, ngl
