A Coinbase user was likely social engineered and scammed for 110 cbBTC ($11.5M) on Base last month by a threat actor. The stolen funds were immediately swapped, bridged, and laundered through multiple instant exchanges and funds consolidated with other Coinbase victims on Ethereum. Theft transaction hash 0x8639f4b4420d47d68f27dc27967ff62ec913106e5b9ce99011de99b8d91813cd 0xb5895314777776da645529df83cd0d0883ed456e2c81e27c97eb5cf45a59c36b 0xfa26f3917519444c7d3d9ca05fc70b289d44958cb55801b9221d7b492f41c76d Coinbase social engineering scams have resulted in $150M+ / yr stolen from users due to data breaches, email/call spoofing, bad detection, etc

Someone was likely hacked for $29M (6.27M SUI) on Sui last month on December 12th, 2024. The stolen funds were bridged from Sui to Ethereum via Bridgers and then deposited to Tornado Cash in batches.

The P2P marketplace Noones was likely exploited for ~$7.9M on Ethereum, Tron, Solana, & BSC on January 1-2, 2025 as its hot wallets saw hundreds of suspicous outflows for <$7K per txn. Shortly after the platform made an announcement about maintenance although no official statement was made about any security incident. Funds were bridged to Ethereum/BSC and then deposited to Tornado Cash.

Looks like the crypto casino Metawin was exploited for $4M+ on Ethereum and Solana earlier today. See 115+ theft addresses tied to the exploiter below.

Tapioca DAO hack is likely the result of a team member downloading malware as the theft is tied on-chain to other recent hacks such as Nexera, Concentric, Masa, SpaceCatch, Reach, Serenity Shield, MurAll, etc I have previously covered which were the result of fake job scams (contagious interview). Stolen funds from this incident were bridged from Arbitrum to BSC where ~$4.7M currently sits. 0x69d91e56ca80f2a4d7b808b59053ea5c5505ffe2
