Hacks and freezes tracker

Big thefts reach ordinary wallets weeks later, many hops away. This page lists major incidents with what the victim, law enforcement and the blockchain confirm — and the addresses AML checkers will flag.

Date	Victim	Amount	Blamed on	Frozen	Status
2026-10-29	Binance	about $6.3 billion (Binance’s estimate)	Not named yet	About $3 billion, per Binance; USDT and USDC on the main receiving address are blacklisted	Under investigation. Binance says it will cover all losses; withdrawals paused
2025-02-21	Bybit	about $1.5 billion (FBI)	North Korea (“TraderTraitor”), per the FBI	No total published by the FBI	FBI published 51 Ethereum addresses and asked services to block them

We list only facts from the victim’s own statements, government notices and on-chain data. Amounts are early estimates and change.

If coins you are about to receive came from these addresses, an AML check will usually show stolen funds. Check the sender before you accept: how to check USDT before receiving.

We never ask for seed phrases or private keys. An AML check needs only a public address. Anyone who asks for your seed phrase to “verify” a wallet is trying to steal it.
