What happened
On January 10, 2026, a victim lost more than $282M in BTC and LTC through a hardware-wallet social-engineering scam, after which the attacker moved rapidly across THORChain, CEXs and privacy rails.
This was not a protocol failure at all; it was human compromise followed by industrial-grade laundering. The attacker started bridging and swapping almost immediately, moving large slices through THORChain into ETH, XRP and other assets, then dispersing funds across exchanges and mixers. It was a reminder that in raw dollar terms, social engineering still competes comfortably with every smart-contract exploit you care to name.
