Scam Sniffer: Two Wallets Lose Approximately $187,000 Due to Long-Unrevoked Authorizations

According to PeckShield’s monitoring, 50 major hacking incidents hit the crypto industry in August 2026, a 67% rise from the 30 cases in July, with total losses of roughly $136.3 million—down 49.5% month-over-month. Among these, the Cronos ecosystem lending protocol Tectonic suffered a hack that caused about $74 million in losses, making it the largest single incident of the month and the fourth-largest crypto asset theft case of the year. The attackers only bridged approximately $6 million to Ethereum before Cronos suspended its network, leaving most of the remaining funds stranded on Cronos.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in a post on X that Robinhood Banking’s assets have exceeded $4 billion, adding that this growth reflects users’ trust in Robinhood’s fund management. Tenev also noted that Robinhood is developing "Trump Accounts", which it aims to make the default tool for charitable donations in the U.S. Traditional charitable giving involves complex rules and regulations, requiring donors to evaluate charities, confirm that funds are used as advertised, and assess their efficiency. Trump Accounts allow donors to directly invest funds into investment accounts held by U.S. children, reducing intermediary steps in the donation process. Donors can clearly track their funds’ destination, children own the related assets, no fees are charged, and account assets grow long-term via compounding at market rates—a model expected to bring positive changes to U.S. philanthropy.
