~$800K Lost: Hinkal Double-Spend | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly security report covers 1 notable incident from June 29 to July 5, 2026, with approximately $800K in total losses on Ethereum. The Hinkal shielded-pool protocol was drained through a double-spend attack that likely exploited a flaw in the legacy note format, allowing the attacker to derive multiple nullifiers from a single deposit. The report analyzes the probable circuit-level vulnerability, the attack flow, and broader implications for nullifier-based privacy protocols.

Newsletter - June 2026

This monthly report covers the three largest security incidents in June 2026, totaling approximately $22M in confirmed losses. A sophisticated honeypot attack drained ~$15M from JaredFromSubway's MEV bot by exploiting unchecked token allowances. Two legacy Aztec rollup deployments lost ~$4.35M through proof-settlement boundary gaps. SecondFi's Ed25519 implementation flaw exposed wallet private keys, resulting in ~$2.4M drained from 374 wallets. All three incidents share a common pattern: security guarantees that appeared intact on the surface but were never actually enforced.

~$4.1M Lost: Taiko, SecondFi Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly blockchain security report covers two notable incidents from June 22-28, 2026, with approximately $4.1M in confirmed losses across Ethereum and Cardano. The Taiko bridge exploit combined an exposed SGX enclave signing key with an incomplete attestation policy that failed to reject debug enclaves, allowing the attacker to register a malicious prover and forge L2 state proofs on Ethereum. The SecondFi wallet vulnerability stemmed from a cryptographic implementation flaw in Ed25519 nonce derivation that removed the secret input, enabling offline private key recovery from public Cardano transaction data.
