  • An exploit targeting the Pro token has resulted in an estimated $8.2 million loss in USDT, with the project team remaining silent.
  • The first half of 2026 has seen a record number of security incidents and losses, with operational security failures being the primary cause, not smart contract bugs.
  • North Korea-linked actors are attributed to over half of the losses, employing sophisticated, long-term infiltration tactics, highlighting a critical need for robust operational security beyond code audits.
