Nexera (formerly AllianceBlock) is a blockchain infrastructure protocol focused on compliant real-world asset tokenization, operating primarily on Ethereum. In August 2024, a threat actor later attributed to North Korea's Lazarus Group used social engineering and BeaverTail malware to steal smart contract management credentials, enabling unauthorized transfer of 47.24 million NXRA tokens valued at approximately $1.9 million. The team mitigated further losses by zeroing out and subsequently burning the 32.5 million tokens that remained in the attacker's wallet, limiting confirmed liquidated losses to roughly $449,000.
avoid.net/m2→39/100[WARNING]M2 is a UAE-based cryptocurrency exchange licensed by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority, operating as a regulated Multilateral Trading Facility and custodian since late 2023. On October 31, 2024, the exchange suffered a $13.7 million hot wallet breach attributed to an access control vulnerability across the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana networks. M2 subsequently reimbursed all affected customers from its own assets and stated it had engaged law enforcement and regulatory authorities.
avoid.net/coinspaid→62/100[CAUTIONARY]CoinsPaid (operating legal entity Dream Finance OÜ, headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia) is a business-to-business crypto payment processing platform founded in 2014 by Max Krupyshev and Pavel Kashuba. The company suffered two confirmed external cyberattacks — a $37.3 million theft in July 2023 and a $7.5 million breach in January 2024 — both attributed to third-party attackers with the first definitively linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group by blockchain analysts and the FBI; client funds were reported unaffected in both incidents. The company is currently navigating significant regulatory uncertainty under the EU's MiCA framework after losing its legacy Estonian FIU licence and suspending operations through its Lithuanian entity, while its CASP application in Estonia remains pending as of mid-2026.
