~$5.57M Lost: X100 Freezer, NEM Exploits | BlockSec Weekly
Security Insights

~$5.57M Lost: X100 Freezer, NEM Exploits | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly report covers two security incidents on Ethereum and BNB Chain from October 19 to October 25, 2026. It examines a flash-loan-funded governance takeover of X100 Freezer and a tax-settlement flaw affecting a NEM token liquidity pool on BNB Chain. Estimated losses within the report's scope total approximately $5.57M: ~$4.75M from the representative X100 transaction and ~$820K from the NEM pool incident. The total excludes separately reported follow-on X100 extractions.

~$3.87M Lost: Autheo Network, UNCX Hacks | BlockSec Weekly

~$3.87M Lost: Autheo Network, UNCX Hacks | BlockSec Weekly

This weekly report covers 3 security incidents from October 12 to October 18, 2026, with approximately $3.87M in total estimated losses. Autheo Network suffered a ~$1.76M private key compromise, Qubic Wallet lost ~$1.30M due to weak seed generation, and UNCX Network's Smart Token Vesting V2 contracts suffered an ~$807K accounting error across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Robinhood Chain. The highlighted UNCX analysis explains how a flawed aggregate share calculation mixed vesting tranches created at different token-to-share ratios and enabled excess withdrawals from shared pools.

~$542K Lost: MakerDaoBot Exploit | BlockSec Weekly
Security Insights

~$542K Lost: MakerDaoBot Exploit | BlockSec Weekly

This report covers 1 security incident on Ethereum from 2026/10/05 - 2026/10/11, with an estimated loss of approximately $542K. An attack contract deployed a malicious adapter and passed it to a MakerDaoBot function that lacked access control, causing the bot to grant the adapter permission over its internal MakerDAO balances. The adapter settled four legacy ETH-A auctions and converted 200 units of ETH-A collateral to WETH; the attack contract unwrapped it and sent 200 ETH to the attacker.
