In November 2024, a total of 21 hacking incidents occurred, resulting in approximately $76.86 million in losses, with $25.5 million recovered. The causes included contract vulnerabilities, account hacks, and price manipulation. Additionally, there were 9,208 phishing victims this month, with losses amounting to $9.38 million.

Major Security Incidents in November

MetaWin
On November 4, 2024, blockchain investigator ZachXBT reported that crypto gambling platform MetaWin was hacked, resulting in over $4 million stolen on Ethereum and Solana chains. According to MetaWin CEO Skel, the attackers exploited the platform’s frictionless withdrawal system to breach MetaWin’s hot wallet.

DeltaPrime
On November 11, 2024, DeFi protocol DeltaPrime was attacked on Avalanche and Arbitrum, with an estimated loss of $4.75 million. The root cause of the attack was the lack of input validation in the reward claim function.

Thala
On November 15, 2024, Aptos-based DeFi project Thala was hacked, resulting in $25.5 million in losses. The attackers exploited a vulnerability in the project’s smart contract. The team halted affected smart contracts and froze approximately $11.5 million in assets. After working with law enforcement and blockchain security teams, the project recovered a significant portion of the stolen funds, allowing the attacker to keep $300,000 as a bounty.

DEXX
On November 16, 2024, several users of the DEXX on-chain trading terminal reported stolen funds. According to SlowMist security team statistics, the losses amounted to $21 million. SlowMist is assisting DEXX and its partners in ongoing investigations. On November 28, SlowMist released data identifying 8,612 attacker addresses on the Solana chain, with attacker addresses on EVM chains to be disclosed after further analysis.

Polter Finance
On November 17, 2024, Fantom-based DeFi project Polter Finance was hacked, incurring losses of approximately $12 million. The attacker exploited a flash loan to deplete BOO token reserves, artificially inflating its price. This allowed them to borrow tokens far exceeding the collateral’s actual value, profiting massively. The platform’s founder stated that they had filed a report with Singaporean authorities and reached out to the attacker via on-chain messages for negotiation, but no response has been received.

AI Poisoning Attacks Alert
While the number of security incidents and associated losses decreased compared to the previous month, the SlowMist security team observed genuine AI poisoning attacks targeting the crypto industry. Developers, in their pursuit of efficiency, may have overly relied on AI-generated code without adequately auditing its security.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the GMT Burning Plan, detailing its logic, project background, opportunities for users, and associated risks.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the GMT Burning Plan, detailing its logic, project background, opportunities for users, and associated risks.

The GMT Burning Plan allows participants to stake their GMT tokens to earn rewards while voting on whether to burn GMT tokens repurchased from investors and advisors. This initiative aims to reduce token unlocking pressure while generating staking yields.
Event Details
Background: The FSL team has repurchased 600 million GMT tokens from investors and advisors, voluntarily transferring them to GMT DAO for community decision-making.Duration: November 21, 2024 – January 20, 2025 (UTC+0).
Mechanism: Token burning depends on the amount staked: 100 million staked GMT = 60 million burned.500 million staked GMT = 230 million burned.900+ million staked GMT = 600 million burned.
RewardsParticipants staking their tokens will share 100 million GMT rewards from the ecosystem fund, distributed daily over 60 days. The daily pool allocates 1.66 million GMT, proportionate to staked amounts.

Participants who staked their tokens on November 21 have already achieved a week-to-date token yield of 9.77%.

From GameFi to DAO: GMT’s Evolution
GMT was initially introduced as the governance token for StepN, a groundbreaking blockchain project that brought millions into the industry. StepN combines GameFi and SocialFi, incentivizing fitness with token rewards earned through walking or running with virtual NFT sneakers. At its peak, StepN attracted 5.6 million users and achieved 1 million daily active users globally.

In 2022, GMT launched as a Binance Launchpad project and experienced a peak increase of over 20x in the secondary market, though its current price has since adjusted.
Following this, an ecosystem centered around GMT was developed, further enhancing its value:
STEPN GO: Building on the success of STEPN, STEPN GO revolutionizes social fitness in everyday life.Dooar: A multi-chain decentralized exchange.
MOOAR: A marketplace for creating and trading NFTs.
GASHERO: A strategic and social Web3 game.
FSL ID: A Web3 identity system introduced by Find Satoshi Lab (FSL).
Optimized Tokenomics for Sustainable Growth
With a total supply of 6 billion, 3 billion GMT are currently in circulation. The 600 million tokens designated for burning come from FSL's repurchase of investor and advisor holdings.

Without this initiative, monthly token unlocks would release 1.54% of the total supply, contributing to an annual inflation rate of 38.96%, heavily influenced by early investor and team unlocks.

In the long term, this token burning initiative undoubtedly solidifies GMT's value. By repurchasing and burning tokens held by advisors and investors, GMT addresses the current market's anti-VC sentiment with a decisive response.

Pump.fun, rising as a meme-launching platform, raises market concerns due to its live stream content.

Pump.fun, a meme token launch platform, has experienced extraordinary growth in user numbers and protocol revenue amid the booming meme token market. Data reveals that Pump.fun generated $5.31 million in revenue within 24 hours, ranking second in daily income after USDT issuer Tether.

Since March, Pump.fun has seen a steady rise in user activity. To date, the platform has accumulated over $250 million in revenue and deployed more than 3.8 million tokens, with growth trends continuing upward.

Attention Economy Sparks Chaos
Pump.fun’s live streaming feature, launched in August, has recently surged in popularity. While this blockchain-based live streaming model has drawn substantial user participation and generated significant economic benefits, it has also fostered chaos within the ecosystem.
Meme tokens, as a hallmark of the attention economy, have exacerbated the situation. Many projects employ controversial tactics to quickly garner attention, raising concerns from regulators over legality and ethical boundaries.

To boost attention and drive token valuations, Pump.fun’s live streams have reportedly featured violent, disturbing, and explicit content. Growing numbers of users have called for the platform to disable its live streaming functionality, stating that the situation is spiraling out of control.
Pump.fun Disables Live Streaming Feature
Pump.fun addressed the controversy in a community announcement, reaffirming its commitment to curbing inappropriate activities. The platform has taken actions such as removing non-compliant token images, names, descriptions, and comments, as well as flagging NSFW content, to maintain a safe and respectful environment.
Pump.fun noted unprecedented growth on its platform, with daily live streams increasing over 100-fold in under a week. Hundreds of streams are being removed daily to ensure the content remains safe and compliant.
To guarantee absolute user safety, Pump.fun has indefinitely suspended its live streaming functionality until its moderation infrastructure is equipped to handle high levels of activity. Moving forward, the platform plans to publish clear guidelines to make its rules and regulations more transparent and to provide creators and users with greater visibility into moderation decisions. These efforts aim to ensure that all stakeholders understand the processes and outcomes, fostering a more trustworthy and secure community.

South Korea to Implement 20% Crypto Tax in 2025; Revised Bill to Be Voted on November 25

South Korea's ruling Democratic Party plans to implement a 20% tax on cryptocurrency gains starting in early 2025.

$HOOK $ENA $IMX

The company confirmed on Monday that its devices are affected by a flaw enabling remote execution of malicious code through web-based JavaScript. This vulnerability opens an attack vector that could lead to the theft of crypto-related data from unsuspecting users.
According to Apple’s latest security disclosure, users must update their JavaScriptCore and WebKit software to the latest versions to patch the issue. Discovered by researchers at Google’s Threat Analysis Group, the vulnerability allows “processing maliciously crafted web content,” resulting in “cross-site scripting attacks.” Alarmingly, Apple also admitted that the issue “may have been actively exploited on Intel-based Mac systems.”
Apple issued a similar security disclosure for iPhone and iPad users, stating that the JavaScriptCore flaw enables the “processing of maliciously crafted web content, which may lead to arbitrary code execution.” In other words, hackers could potentially take control of users’ iPhones or iPads if they visit malicious sites. Apple assured users that updates should resolve the issue.
Jeremiah O’Connor, CTO and co-founder of crypto cybersecurity firm Trugard, warned that “attackers could gain access to sensitive data like private keys or passwords stored in browsers,” potentially stealing crypto assets if users’ devices remain unpatched.
Earlier in March, reports emerged that security researchers had found vulnerabilities in Apple’s previous-generation chips (M1, M2, and M3 series). These flaws could allow hackers to extract cryptographic keys.
The vulnerability exploits a technique called “prefetching,” a feature in Apple’s M-series chips designed to speed up interactions with the company’s devices. Prefetching can store sensitive data in the processor’s cache, enabling attackers to retrieve this information to reconstruct cryptographic keys that should remain inaccessible.
Unfortunately, according to Ars Technica, this presents a significant issue for Apple users, as chip-level vulnerabilities cannot be fixed through software updates.
