Blockchain security firm CertiK projects that 2026 will close with approximately 130 crypto wrench attacks (physical violence against digital asset holders), calling it a significantly underreported phenomenon with hundreds of millions in potential losses.
DeFi perpetual futures protocol Wasabi Protocol was drained of over $5 million across Ethereum, Base, Berachain, and Blast after attackers compromised an admin key to upgrade contracts and extract funds. Security firms PeckShield, Blockaid, and CertiK confirmed the exploit.
