A hacker stole $340M in a crypto heist, then returned most of it
A hacker exploited a bug to steal about 4,000 BTC (~$340M) from Blockstream's Liquid Network, then returned roughly 3,400 BTC after the bug was fixed.
A hacker exploited a bug to withdraw roughly 4,000 bitcoins worth about $340 million from Liquid Network, a settlement service launched in 2018 by crypto firm Blockstream and used by several cryptocurrency exchanges. Liquid Network paused operations, and the hacker, described as a white hat, offered to return the funds once the bug was fixed. Former Blockstream executive Samson Mow said the bug was fixed and about 3,400 BTC (~$293M) returned, leaving roughly 600 BTC (~$47M) under the hacker's control pending further security improvements. Rekt's leaderboard ranks the heist among the largest cryptocurrency thefts to date.

13 Malicious Packagist Packages Target Unpatched iPhones to Steal Crypto Wallet Seeds
Trojanized Packagist themes inject JavaScript into Vietnamese streaming sites, exploiting unpatched iPhone WebKit and kernel flaws to install spyware and steal crypto wallet seeds.
Socket researchers found 13 malicious Composer theme packages across five vendor namespaces (including vsmov, vsphim, and ophimcms) that inject JavaScript into Vietnamese movie and comic streaming sites. On iPhones running iOS 18.4-18.6.x, the injected code fires a WebKit-to-kernel exploit chain using CVE-2025-31277 and CVE-2025-43529, pivoting through the GPU process and the AppleM2ScalerCSCDriver IOKit user client to gain kernel read/write. Since around August 12, 2026 the payload also steals cryptocurrency wallet seeds and mnemonics from Bitget, BitKeep, Bitpie, Phantom, Tonkeeper, Trust Wallet, and OKX, alongside keychain databases, Wi-Fi passwords, SMS, photos, cookies, and location history, uploaded via HTTPS to rotating C2 domains. The group is believed to be Vietnamese-operated, hosts exploits on Funnull infrastructure, and Apple patched the kernel escape flaw in iOS and macOS 26.1.
