安全事件分析Heco Bridge ExploitOn 22 November, another major private key compromise affected the Heco Bridge and HTX hot wallets amounting to \$116 million in losses. A malicious actor compromised several wallets belonging to HTX as well as the Heco bridge operator wallet, allowing them to withdraw withdraw assets on Ethereum and TRON. We have also identified a suspicious movement of Bitcoin. This brings the total lost to private key compromises this year to over \$800 million, representing 56% of all funds lost in 2023. This incident is also the fifth largest incident in 2023 and is the largest bridge attack this year.
安全事件分析Kronos Research Incident AnalysisOn 18 November 2023, Kronos Research announced, via social media platform X, that unauthorized access to their API resulted in a loss of approximately \$26 million. The incident isn’t a typical private key compromise which often refers to the private key of a victims wallet, but instead was due to a API private key compromise. Whilst there are differences between the two, this incident resulted in the victim losing control of their funds. Since the API keys belonging to Kronos Research were compromised, we are classifying this incident as a private key compromise, which have seen \$134 million lost in November alone.
安全事件分析Poloniex Incident AnalysisOn 10th November, Poloniex wallets on Ethereum, Tron and BTC were compromised leading to an overall loss of approximately $132 million. In total, the stolen funds have passed through at least 681 wallets as assets are being laundered. This is the second largest private key compromise that CertiK has detected in 2023. Just 40 incidents involving private key compromises have accounted for 57% of the overall losses in 2023, demonstrating how devastating private key compromises can be.
