Dormant EIP-7702 authorization used weeks later to drain an Ethereum wallet
On 14 October 2026 an attacker used an EIP-7702 authorization the victim had signed earlier to drain 9.1231 ETH (about $22,770) and TAPEETH rewards from an Ethereum wallet, ExVul reported. The attacker sponsored a type-4 transaction carrying the old signature, which made the victim's wallet run attacker code that claimed mining rewards and withdrew the ETH in one go. ExVul said the malicious delegation was still active afterwards and that TAPEETH and PodMining were not at fault. The case shows a 7702 signature can sit unused and be fired later.

COLDCARD's X account posts fake 'security migration' phishing link
On 11 October 2026 the official X account of hardware wallet maker COLDCARD published an unauthorized post claiming a flaw in recovery phrase generation in newer firmware and urging users to move their Bitcoin through a 'security migration' site that impersonated COLDCARD. The company deleted the post, said it was investigating how it was published, and said it found no matching login or session record despite offline 2FA. No losses were confirmed. The only official site is coldcard.com; never enter a seed phrase on any website.

Tampered Ledger wallets from an Asian reseller leak seed phrases; on-chain estimate puts losses near $102M
Ledger hardware wallets sold by CryptoBilis, a Southeast Asian reseller, had a hidden implant added after manufacture that read the 24-word recovery phrase during setup and sent it out over an LTE eSIM. Coordinated drains began on 9 October 2026 across TRON, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana and Bitcoin. Bitquery's on-chain estimate is about $102M from 324 wallets, and investigator Specter put it above $86M. Ledger has not confirmed a figure. Anyone who set up a Ledger bought from a third-party seller in the affected markets should move funds to a new seed made on a device bought direct.

Noir wallet drainer kit hides its backend behind DNS TXT records and DoH
Infoblox Threat Intel described Noir on 9 October 2026, a wallet-drainer kit that looks up its backend pool through DNS TXT records over public DNS-over-HTTPS, so operators can repoint every lure page by changing one record. Lures impersonate CoinMarketCap, DexScreener, OKX, Uniswap, Lido, Hyperliquid, Morpho, Ondo, LayerZero, MegaETH, Polymarket and others with fake votes, airdrop checks and swap clones. It steals by getting token spending permissions, then cuts the WalletConnect session to hide the trail. Infoblox gave no loss figures and says the kit was likely AI-developed.

Fake 'human verification' bookmarklet hijacks Fomo account, drains about $48K from embedded wallet
A Fomo user clicked a project website link on a token page and landed on a phishing site that asked them to drag an icon to the bookmarks bar and click it three times as a 'human verification'. The bookmark ran on the logged-in Fomo page and took the Privy login tokens and wallet data from browser storage, and about $48,000 (mostly USDC) was moved out. The victim never connected a wallet, signed anything or typed a seed phrase, and had no two-factor login enabled. Fomo users who ran any such bookmark should revoke sessions from a trusted device, turn on MFA and move funds.

16 fake Rabby and OKX Wallet add-ons on Firefox stole recovery phrases and private keys
Socket found 16 Firefox extensions posing as Rabby Wallet (branded 'Raabby WaIIet') and OKX Wallet ('Portal WALLET'). They captured 12- or 24-word recovery phrases and private keys during the wallet import step and sent them to attacker-run Cloudflare Workers. Mozilla removed them by 5 October 2026, but Socket links them to a crypto-theft extension campaign it first saw in August 2026, so new copies may appear. No loss figure has been published; anyone who imported a seed into one of them should treat that wallet as stolen.

User loses about $305K in DAI after copying a poisoned lookalike address from history
On 4 October 2026 GoPlus Security flagged a loss of about $305,000 in DAI. The attacker made an address with the same first and last characters as the victim's usual recipient, sent dust transfers so it appeared in the victim's history, and the victim copied it for a large transfer. GoPlus warned these campaigns are now fully automated, from finding targets to laundering. Reports did not name the chain.

Old Permit2 phishing approval used to drain $167K in LINK
Scam Sniffer flagged a user who lost $167,342 in LINK on Ethereum when an attacker used a phishing approval targeting Permit2 to move the tokens on 3 October 2026. The victim had signed the approval long before (Incrypted dates it to 18 August 2025), which shows a malicious approval can sit unused for weeks or months before the drain.

Bitget hot and warm wallets drained of $387.5M after zero-day in third-party security appliances
Attackers exploited a zero-day in two third-party security appliances at exchange Bitget, moved on to its production wallet job server and used a custom withdrawal tool to drain hot and warm wallets on 24-25 September 2026. The confirmed loss is about $387.5 million (first reported as $351.6M) across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC, Base and the XRP Ledger. Bitget's CEO blamed North Korean hackers, and Bitget said cold wallets and private keys were not compromised. Hacken's Q3 figures say about $387M was covered by Bitget's user protection fund.

SingularityNET bridge keys abused after cloud breach: 8.72M FET released, billions of tokens minted
An unauthorized party got into part of SingularityNET's cloud infrastructure and on 19-20 September 2026 used a compromised authorizer signature and NuNet's mint authority to release 8.72M FET from a bridge and mint about 2.3 billion AGIX, NTX, WMTX and CGV. Sixteen wallets, four labelled as SingularityNET or NuNet staff, were swept before the minting. Headlines cited $16.77M, but Rekt's transaction-level count found about $2.29M in sellable proceeds because most minted tokens could not be sold. Bridges and converters are offline and AGIX is being replaced, so holders should wait for official migration steps.

D'CENT app-wallet users drained of over $18M as compromised seeds hit XRP, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Tron
From 15 to 20 September 2026 thieves emptied at least 6,678 wallets created in the D'CENT mobile app in six waves, taking about 11.7M XRP, and kept draining after 21 September for a total above 12.4M XRP (over $18M per Protos). D'CENT's own disclosure also named Bitcoin, Tron and Ethereum, and the stolen XRP was moved to Ethereum through THORChain. The cause is compromised recovery phrases for wallets made in the app; how they leaked has not been explained. D'CENT says app-created wallets are vulnerable and tells users to make a new recovery phrase and move everything.

Drift Protocol drained of $270M+ after signers pre-signed durable-nonce admin transactions
On Apr 1, 2026, an attacker took admin control of the Solana perps exchange Drift and drained its vaults of at least $270 million; SlowMist lists $285 million. Weeks earlier, Security Council signers had been led into 'unauthorized or misrepresented' approvals. Because those transactions used durable nonces, they stayed valid until the attacker chose to submit them. The funds were bridged to Ethereum, including more than $230 million in USDC via Circle's CCTP. No code bug was needed. The lesson for teams is that any durable-nonce signing request is high risk.

Report: Inferno/AngelFerno drainer still active in 2026, bought Purple Drainer in March
A Ransom-ISAC report published on 5 October 2026 says the Inferno drainer ecosystem, now branded AngelFerno after merging with Angel Drainer, was still running in summer 2026 with thousands of affiliates. It says AngelFerno announced it had bought Purple Drainer in March 2026, that its factory has deployed over 17,000 single-use drainer contracts, and that it targets 165 tokens on 11 EVM chains (with Solana, TRON, SUI and XRP variants). The report ties it to domain takeovers including CoW Protocol in April 2026 (about $1.2M lost) and notes a May 2026 key rotation that locked the operators out of their own command contract for about 23 days.

Ongoing wave: bookmarklet drainers target logged-in Solana memecoin trading apps
Since at least late 2025, scammers have used fake tools and fake 'verification' steps to get Solana memecoin traders to drag a bookmark into their browser and click it on a trading site they are logged in to, where it takes the session or wallet data and the account is drained. Reports cover Axiom traders in December 2025 and a Fomo user who lost about $48,000 in October 2026; SlowMist called it an old method being reused. In September 2026 Socket found theft code in malicious extensions labelled as Axiom bookmarklet tooling and noted that Axiom bookmark drainers circulate publicly. Traders on any web terminal should refuse any bookmark from others, use MFA and keep trading wallets small.

Solana owner-permission phishing: OKX Wallet and Phantom add warnings after $3M loss
A Solana wallet user signed a transaction from a disguised tool site that showed no balance change but moved the account's Owner permission to an attacker address starting GKJBEL. SlowMist reported over $3M lost, with about $2M in DeFi positions later recovered with protocol help. On 7 Jan 2026 OKX Wallet warned the technique was spreading across Solana, said it had added pre-signing warnings, and said Phantom had added similar alerts. Before signing, check for any instruction that changes an account owner or authority; normal wallets never ask you to change your own account's owner.

Address poisoning hit nearly 4.5M Solana wallets; 1,104 sent $940K to lookalike addresses
Bitquery data reported by CryptoSlate shows scammers sent tiny 'dust' transfers from lookalike addresses to 4,497,798 Solana wallets between Oct 30, 2025 and Oct 7, 2026, betting that victims would later copy the fake address from their history. In a studied subset of poisoned wallets, 1,104 wallets paid a combined $940,106 to lookalikes, a figure the researchers call a floor. Receiving dust cannot drain a wallet; the loss happens only when you send to the wrong address. Copy addresses from your exchange's deposit page or a saved contact, never from transaction history.

Joint advisory: North Korea's WaterPlum fake-job campaign infected 30,000 devices, hit 7,000+ wallets
On 18 September 2026 Japanese, US, Australian and German authorities warned that the North Korean group WaterPlum, linked to the 'Contagious Interview' campaign, infected at least 30,000 devices in more than 100 countries between December 2025 and July 2026. Posing as AI, crypto or NFT firms and recruiters, they get targets to run code during fake interviews and coding tests, including malicious npm packages and VS Code projects, then steal private keys, seed phrases and passwords. Funds or credentials were taken from over 7,000 wallets, and more than 1.7 billion yen (about $10.71M) went to North Korea. The advisory does not say the campaign has stopped.

Over-permissioned Safe module abused to drain about $7.8M in rsETH; MEV bot front-runs the thief
On 15 September 2026 an attacker abused a custom Uniswap v4 liquidity module and a Multicall helper that an Ethereum Safe multisig owner had approved, pointing the wallet's position at a malicious pool and unwrapping about 2,882 rsETH (around $7.8M). Blockaid described it as abuse of module permissions on that one Safe, not a bug in Safe itself or a stolen owner key. MEV bot Yoink front-ran the attacker and took the funds, Kelp DAO froze that address within about two hours, and whether the funds come back is unresolved. Safe owners should audit every enabled module.

19 Chrome and Edge extensions hid a wallet drainer that hijacked Connect Wallet and Swap buttons
Socket found 19 Chrome and Edge extensions, from crypto price trackers and explorers to general tools like 'Enable Right Click & Copy' (70,000+ Chrome users), that loaded a modular malware framework. It drained EVM, Solana and Tron wallets by hijacking 'Connect Wallet' and 'Swap' buttons, swapped Ledger and Trezor sites for seed-phishing pages and stole exchange sessions; five extensions were bought from their original developers and turned malicious through updates. Socket thinks the campaign may date back to early 2024. Google removed the Chrome listings, but when BleepingComputer reported it on 30 August 2026 the Edge version of one was still available.

USENIX study: over 63% of EIP-7702 authorization transactions tied to malicious contracts
A peer-reviewed study presented at USENIX Security '26 (August 2026) found 924 malicious contract accounts across seven chains that support EIP-7702, with more than $2.3 million in losses and over 10 million users exposed. The authors say over 63% of authorization transactions in their data were linked to attacks on regular wallets, and nearly half of the most-authorized contracts were attacker-controlled. The study window ends in mid-2025, so it measures early abuse, not today's rate. It confirms that 7702 delegation is a major phishing and key-theft sweep vector.
