Rough weekend for DeFi: Four hacks, three outages, one warning

A chaotic weekend has seen four DeFi hacks, repeated downtime on Sui, and ended with a crypto card panic to kick off the week.

Stake DAO hit by hack as DeFi security confidence hits new low

Attackers have exploited prediction market platform Polymarket and stolen roughly $700K worth of crypto in a presumed private key hack.

GitHub says a recent breach of its internal data stemmed from a staff member downloading a “poisoned” VS Code extension.
