BNB Chain Resumes Activity After 2 Million Token Exploit
https://decrypt.co/111448/bnb-chain-resumes-activity-2-million-token-exploit

this is the latest, I'm really shocked about BNBChain getting hacked when Binance is also very massive working on the project,
and of course this is like a blow to CZ, because it's a very large number, reportedly the BNBChain network will be paused for the next few hours,
is it when is this back to normal again?.

Little by little, funds are being refunded to dex Transit Swap users affected by the hacker, who returned 6,500 BNB and promises to return another 3,500 BNB later for a reward of 2,500 BNB. Such an agreement was reached by the Transit Swap team as a result of negotiations with the hacker, who previously returned most of the stolen.

Chainalysis collected statistics on hacking this year, so for example, October 2022 has not ended yet, but it has already become the largest month in the history of hacking activity for the entire year. So far this month, $718 million has been stolen from the DeFi protocols using 11 different hacks.



Cross-chain bridges are the main target for hackers: in October, 3 bridges were hacked and almost $600 million was stolen, this is 82% of losses this month and 64% of losses for the whole year.



During this year, hackers earned more than $3 billion for 125 hacks.



Analysis of hacks shows that if cex was previously the target of hackers , then starting from 2021 their main goal is Defi protocols.

"Celo-based lending and borrowing protocol Moola Market had over $10 million worth of tokens stolen, and later returned, Wednesday morning after a market manipulation attack.
The exploit was the second of its kind in the last few weeks, with the attackers manipulating the prices of Moola’s native MOO tokens to borrow collateral against their positions – effectively draining the protocol."

The latest data analytically indicate a loss of approximately $8.4 million in assets of several tokens 8.8M CELO ($6.5M), 765k cEUR ($0.7M), 1.8M MOO ($0.6M) and 644k cUSD https://twitter.com/FrankResearcher/status/1582448720985014273 , but this of course does not affect anything another vulnerability of the Defi protocol was used

Dear the major hack or scams in defi are due to some reasons as let me explain one of the major reason. As you all know that in DeFi protocols and Apps the source codes are open source many of the scammer just copy code and make a few changes to create a new platform similar to previous one this happened with Dexs in early 2021 and 2022. It cause major scams and people gets trapped.
