🚨 SCAM ALERT: MAP PROTOCOL & BUTTER NETWORK BRIDGE EXPLOITED! 🚨
A massive infinite-mint exploit has completely broken the cross-chain bridge architecture for Map Protocol and Butter Network across both Ethereum and BSC.
The attacker managed to trick the Butter Bridge V3.1 (OmniServiceProxy) contract into minting an astronomical amount of fake tokens directly to a brand-new EOA.
🔍 REASONS BEHIND: The 4.8 Million-Fold Supply Shock
The Loophole: The OmniServiceProxy engine suffered an extreme access-control verification breakdown. It accepted an un-validated input payload packet and interpreted it as an authorized cross-chain messaging command.
The Infinite Mint: Instead of throwing a revert error, the contract allowed the attacker to mint a staggering 10 Trillion MAPO tokens straight to a fresh wallet.

🚨 SCAM ALERT: ELEVATEFI EXPLOITED VIA FLASH-LOAN ORACLE MANIPULATION! 🚨
The ElevateFi staking vault on Polygon has been hit by a precise oracle manipulation exploit.
An attacker managed to trick the protocol's accounting system into booking a massive $2,500,000 USD in fake staking principal, walking away with a clean extraction of 6,256.53 EFI rewards just 34 blocks later.
🔍 REASONS BEHIND: The Danger of Spot-Price Validation
The Loophole: The protocol's getPriceUSD() function calculated token value using raw, instantaneous spot reserves directly from a shallow Uniswap V2/QuickSwap liquidity pair instead of relying on a time-weighted average price (TWAP) or a decentralized oracle like Chainlink.

🚨 $2.8M DRAINED: Was the StablR exploit a hack, or an insider exit scam? 🚨
A "1-of-3" multisig threshold for a stablecoin minting contract isn't just bad security, it's a centralized backdoor waiting to be opened.
The attacker only needed ONE single compromised key to:
1️⃣ Hijack the owner list
2️⃣ Boot the other legitimate signers
3️⃣ Print 12.85M unbacked
$USDR & $EURR
4️⃣ Dump it for 1,115
$ETH ($2.8M)

🚨 CRITICAL DEVELOPER THREAT: The "Get Shit Done" ($GSD) AI agent rug pull is mutating into a massive supply chain exploit. 🚨
If you installed the viral open-source AI coding tool GSD, you need to clean your environment immediately. This is no longer just a financial scam, your local machine is at risk.
Here is exactly what is unfolding right now:
1️⃣ The Financial Rug Pull: The anonymous founder launched a companion token ($GSD), built up hype, drained the liquidity pool, deleted their socials, and vanished with community funds.
2️⃣ The Machine Backdoor Risk: The malicious creator still controls the administrative keys to the original NPM package registry entries (get-shit-done-cc /

🚨 5.4 TRILLION TOKENS PRINTED OUT OF THIN AIR: The StakeDAO Exploit 🚨
This wasn't a complex zero-day bug. It was a masterclass in operational failure:
1️⃣ Attacker stole the deployer EOA private key.
2️⃣ Rerouted LayerZero cross-chain trust (setPeer).
3️⃣ Forged a mint message for 5.4T $vsdCRV (the hardcoded uint64 maximum).
4️⃣ Dumped into thin liquidity for ~44
$ETH
($91K).
Admin keys should never retain unilateral power over live omnichain protocols.

🚨 WEB3 HR TRAP: A dangerous new threat actor is hunting crypto developers on LinkedIn. 🚨
If you are a developer, founder, or project manager in Web3, a fake job offer could completely compromise your local device and allow hackers to inject malware directly into your live production code.
Here is how the "JINX-0164" attack chain unfolds:
1️⃣ The LinkedIn Bait: Sophisticated fake recruiter profiles approach you with high-paying job opportunities or technical evaluations.
2️⃣ The Trojan Tool: You are instructed to download a proprietary "video conferencing tool" or standalone application to join the technical interview.
3️⃣ The Local Takeover: The download secretly deploys custom macOS malware (AUDIOFIX and MiniRAT), immediately scraping your iCloud Keychain, private keys, and browser extension token.

1️⃣ The Target: The attacker targeted the Zodiac Delay Module, a shared routing layer designed to act as a secure time-lock queue for outgoing transactions.
2️⃣ The Infiltration: Leveraging a critical logic flaw, the exploiter bypassed standard verification steps and forced unauthorized withdrawal transactions directly into the queues of thousands of users simultaneously.
3️⃣ The Freeze: Panic calls for immediate manual asset withdrawals quickly failed as automated emergency protocol circuit-

🚨 SECURITY ALERT: Hola Browser Hit by Supply Chain Attack 🚨
Here is how this silent Windows infection unfolds:
1️⃣ The Infiltration: Attackers breached the official software pipeline, slipping an undeclared, unsigned dropper file (me.exe) directly into the official browser download.
2️⃣ The Payload: Once installed, it quietly drops a background Monero (
$XMR) cryptocurrency miner (HolaMonitorService.exe) straight onto your operating system.
3️⃣ The Stealth: To evade your detection, the miner stays completely dormant while you are actively using your PC. It only turns on to blast your CPU and drain your hardware lifespan the second your device goes idle.
