Hackers Drain $17M in 40 Days from Five 'Zombie Contracts': Abandoned Smart Contracts Become Low-Hanging Fruit

Over the past 40 days, hackers stole nearly $17 million by exploiting five abandoned but still-active smart contracts on various blockchains. The affected projects include DxSale, TrustedVolumes, Huma Finance V1, Raydium Legacy AMM, and Aztec Connect. The root cause: incomplete decommissioning of old contracts, leaving behind residual funds, admin keys, or callable entry points. This incident highlights a critical blind spot in DeFi — the lack of standardized lifecycle management for smart contracts, turning deprecated code into lucrative targets for attackers.

PhotonPay Releases '2026 Global Gaming White Paper': Stablecoin Aggregated Payment Solves Game Publishers' Revenue Collection Woes

PhotonPay (PhotonYi) has released its '2026 Global Gaming White Paper: From Traffic Growth to Revenue Realization,' highlighting a critical pain point: despite top 100 mobile games capturing 57% ($46.6 billion) of mobile revenue, fragmented backend payment channels cause massive transaction losses, leaving many cross-border game publishers with 'revenue but no cash in hand.' In response, PhotonPay launched a multi-route aggregated payment network that automatically converts players' local fiat currencies into compliant on-chain stablecoins, enabling instant settlement and real-time clearing across 200+ countries and regions. The solution preserves the original player payment experience while offering a single, compliance-first API for seamless fiat-stablecoin dual-track operations, aiming to redefine global payment efficiency in the digital asset era.

Four Dormant Ethereum OG Addresses Wake Up After 8 Years, Dump 33,623 ETH in 4 Hours for $27.4M Profit

Four early Ethereum addresses that had been dormant for 8 years suddenly began selling today. In the past 4 hours, they sold 33,623 ETH at an average price of ~$1,560, totaling $52.46 million. These addresses originally received 37,602 ETH at ~$830 per coin 8 years ago (initial cost ~$58.66 million). Despite unrealized profits exceeding $150 million during the 2021 and 2025 bull runs, they never sold until now. The realized profit from today's dump is approximately $27.4 million. They still hold about 3,979 ETH (~$6.2 million). The move has drawn attention as a classic whale movement signal.

Four Ethereum OG Wallets Wake After 8 Years, Dump 33,623 ETH in 4 Hours, Book $27.4M Profit

Four dormant Ethereum OG addresses suddenly became active after 8 years of silence, selling 33,623 ETH (worth ~$52.46M) in the past 4 hours at an average price of $1,560. Originally funded with 37,602 ETH at ~$830 each in 2018, these addresses held through the 2021 and 2025 bull runs without selling. The sale generated a realized profit of approximately $27.4M. The event signals potential profit-taking by early adopters and may increase short-term selling pressure on ETH, though the impact on overall market liquidity is limited. Analysts are watching for similar dormant wallet movements. Data from Lookonchain.

Collector Crypt: 97% Revenue from 14.6% Whales, Daily Active Users Under 1,000 – Structural Risks in a Top Chain TCG

Collector Crypt, a Solana-based chain TCG leveraging Pokémon IP, gacha mechanics, and the CARDS token economy, has become one of the top 10 revenue-generating crypto protocols. However, 97% of its revenue comes from just 14.6% of high-net-worth users, daily active users are below 1,000, and gross margins are declining – highlighting the structural risks and growth bottlenecks of an early-stage niche.

Hackers Drain $17 Million in 40 Days Using Five Zombie Contracts as DeFi ATMs

In the past 40 days, hackers have stolen nearly $17 million by exploiting five abandoned but still active smart contracts from DxSale, TrustedVolumes, Huma Finance V1, Raydium Legacy AMM, and Aztec Connect. The root cause is incomplete contract decommissioning: funds, permissions, and callable entry points remain on-chain. This incident highlights systemic risks of 'zombie contracts' in DeFi and calls for strict retirement audits and asset recovery procedures.
