According to Odaily, Ubisoft's recently launched NFT role-playing game, 'Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles,' has encountered a significant exploit. A player, known by the usernames Schilleri11 or Paulstar111, has reportedly found a way to achieve 'automatic victories,' disrupting the normal ranking matches for other players. This player has been recorded as having participated in over 56,000 matches, consistently winning each one without any clear explanation of how they managed to match and win so many games automatically.
Players have expressed their frustration on the game's Discord server, reporting that whenever they attempt to start a competitive match online, they are invariably matched against this player and lose automatically, even before the match begins. Discord administrators have acknowledged the issue and stated that the team is aware of the problem. They have banned the player in question, but some users have reported that the account remains active, continuing to affect the game's competitive integrity.#Ubisoft #NFT #ChampionsTactics #GrimoriaChronicles #videogames #gamingnews #exploits #Discord #competitivegaming #gamingcommunity

According to PANews, losses from cryptocurrency hacks, exploits, and scams in December 2024 fell to an annual low of $29 million. This marks a significant decrease from November's $63.8 million and October's $115.8 million. Key incidents included a $2.1 million theft from the GemPad platform due to a vulnerability, a $1 million exploit of the FEG cross-chain bridge, and $12.3 million in crypto assets stolen from LastPass users following a data breach. Data from CertiK and PeckShield indicate a 71% month-over-month decline in related attacks for December. The total losses for the year amounted to $2.3 billion, representing a 40% increase from 2023 but remaining below the $3.78 billion recorded in 2022. The rise in losses is attributed mainly to increased access control vulnerabilities in centralized exchanges and custodial platforms.#Cryptocurrency #Losses #Hacks #Exploits #Scams #CryptoSecurity #DataBreach #CentralizedExchanges #CustodialPlatforms #MarketTrends

Key Takeaways:Web3 security firm PeckShield reported $127.06M in losses from crypto attacks in September, down from $163M in August (a 22% drop).Around 20 large-scale exploits were recorded, with UXLINK and SwissBorg among the hardest hit.Despite the decline, crypto security remains a pressing risk as hackers continue to target DeFi and Web3 protocols.Crypto Attacks Decline in SeptemberAccording to data published by PeckShield on X (formerly Twitter), losses from crypto security incidents in September 2025 totaled approximately $127.06 million, reflecting a 22% decrease from August’s $163 million.The decline marks a rare pullback after months of sustained attacks on the Web3 sector, though the figures still highlight the ongoing vulnerabilities across DeFi and blockchain platforms.Major Incidents in SeptemberPeckShield identified around 20 major hacks and exploits during the month. The largest cases included:UXLINK – Losses of $44.14MSwissBorg – Losses of $41.5MVenus Protocol – Losses of $13.5M (later recovered)Yala – Losses of $7.64MGriffAI – Losses of $3MThese incidents underscore the continued targeting of cross-chain protocols, DeFi lending platforms, and AI-integrated crypto projects. Market ImplicationsWhile the 22% decline in stolen funds is a positive signal for security efforts, experts caution that attack sophistication is rising. Many protocols now face phishing-based exploits, private key leaks, and governance manipulation, in addition to traditional smart contract vulnerabilities.PeckShield’s report highlights that recoveries like Venus’ $13.5M case also play a role in lowering net monthly losses, but the overall risk landscape for investors remains elevated.September’s $127M in crypto attack losses shows progress in industry defense mechanisms, but with over 20 major incidents, security in DeFi and Web3 remains a critical concern. Investors are urged to remain cautious, conduct due diligence, and track protocol-level security updates closely.#Crypto #Cryptojacking #CryptoAttacks #Web3 #DeFi #Blockchain #CyberSecurity #PeckShield #Hacks #Exploits #SwissBorg #UXLINK #VenusProtocol #Yala #GriffAI #CryptoLosses #CryptoSecurity #CryptoNews #XVS
🚀 Sharwa.Finance Faces Repeated Attacks Exploiting MarginTrading Vulnerability
#SharwaFinance #MarginTrading #Exploits #Vulnerability #LeveragedLending #SandwichAttack #CryptoSecurity #Blockchain #Attackers #SolvencyCheck #WBTC #USDC #PANews
According to PANews, Sharwa.Finance has reported an attack on its platform, leading to a temporary suspension of operations. Despite this, several suspicious transactions occurred hours later, suggesting attackers exploited the same underlying vulnerability through slightly different methods.
The attackers initially created a margin account and used the provided collateral to borrow more assets through leveraged lending. They then executed a 'sandwich attack' on the exchange operations involving the borrowed assets. The root cause appears to be the absence of a bankruptcy check in the swap() function of the MarginTrading contract. This function is responsible for exchanging borrowed assets from one token, such as WBTC, to another, like USDC. It only verifies solvency based on the account status at the start of the exchange, leaving room for manipulation during the process.
Attacker 1, identified by the address starting with 0xd356, conducted multiple attacks, profiting approximately $61,000. Attacker 2, with an address starting with 0xaa24, executed a single attack, gaining around $85,000.#SharwaFinance #MarginTrading #Exploits #Vulnerability #LeveragedLending #SandwichAttack #CryptoSecurity #Blockchain #Attackers #SolvencyCheck #WBTC #USDC #PANews

Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on X about allegations against Marcell, a trader known for his controversial practices. Marcell reportedly purchased significant amounts of meme coin tokens from private wallets before promoting them to his followers on X and Telegram. This strategy, known as bundling, involves using followers as exit liquidity, allowing Marcell to profit from the subsequent price increase. Such traders are often targeted due to the rarity of address reuse and the private nature of their wallets, making insider information highly valuable.#Marcell #Trader #Exploits #Followers #ExitLiquidity #ZachXBT #Blockchain #MemeCoin #Telegram #Bundling #InsiderInformation #Crypto

Drift has revealed that its recent $270 million exploit was the result of a six-month campaign involving fake identities, in-person meetings, and cultivated trust, rather than a flaw in smart contracts. According to NS3.AI, security leaders from ENS Labs, SVRN, Jupiter, dYdX Labs, and Jito Labs have emphasized the need for DeFi teams to consider contributors, multisigs, and operational security as critical attack surfaces. This incident highlights the importance of robust security measures in the decentralized finance sector to prevent similar breaches.#DeFi #Security #Blockchain #Crypto #Exploits #OperationalSecurity #DecentralizedFinance #Multisig #Cybersecurity #DYDX #JTO #JUP
