Q2 2026 has seen a record 83 hacks targeting crypto protocols, though total losses are lower than previous peaks. Bridge exploits are the leading attack vector, accounting for $351 million stolen.
Sri Lanka disclosed that a $625,000 payment to the U.S. Postal Service has been missing for several weeks after U.S. officials reported the payment failed to arrive. Authorities detected the incident after hackers allegedly tried to divert another payment intended for India. This follows a separate probe into the theft of $2.5 million from the country's finance ministry. The incidents are believed to be business email compromise attacks, which the FBI says resulted in billions in losses last year. Australian officials are reportedly aware of irregularities in payments owed to their country, suggesting the thefts could be broader.
