Triple-A's July treasury attacker deposited 4,970 ETH, about $12.4 million, into Tornado Cash on Oct. 9, blockchain security firm Salus said. Getting the coins back now depends on tracers tying withdrawals from the mixer to the attacker, as Salus did once with earlier withdrawals.

Bitget's wallet breach accounts for about four-fifths of September's crypto theft after returns

Bitget lost about $387.5 million to forged withdrawals from its wallet system, more than half of September's $742 million in crypto thefts. Most of Liquid Network's loss was handed back, so what stayed stolen sits mainly with one exchange's withdrawal infrastructure.

Crypto hacks drained $766.49 million in September, a 2026 monthly record, and $387.5 million came from one breach of Bitget's hot wallets. After the money returned from the Liquid Network exploit, that one exchange accounts for about 80% of what stayed stolen.

Cronos halted its own chain to keep $60M of the Tectonic drain within reach

An attacker pumped TONIC roughly 100x in twenty minutes and borrowed against it, which is the 2022 Mango playbook run again, and the only reason most of the money stayed reachable is a validator cap of 100.

Roughly $2 million left Fetch.ai and NuNet on a valid signature, with the token contracts themselves unbroken. The split between the FET drained and the NTX minted decides how much of it the attacker can collect.

An 8,000x oracle print let one account borrow six times NSTR's entire market cap
