Paydax Protocol (PDP) is emerging as the standout contender among three dominant crypto presales, positioning itself as the first platform to bring fully decentralized banking and insurance on-chain. With its innovative approach to borderless borrowing and lending, it’s challenging established names like BlockDag (BDAG) and Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) in the race for 500x returns, having already raised nearly $1 million in its presale while offering unprecedented staking rewards and real-world asset integration.

Blockchain security firm PeckShield has revealed that September 2025 saw $127 million stolen across 20 major cryptocurrency exploits, representing a 22% decrease from August’s $163 million losses. Despite this monthly improvement, the digital asset sector continues to face significant security challenges, with UXLINK, SwissBorg, and Venus Protocol suffering nearly $100 million in combined breaches. The data underscores persistent vulnerabilities that continue to plague the industry even as overall theft numbers show temporary relief.

Blockstream has issued a warning about a new phishing campaign targeting users of its Jade hardware wallet. The scam involves emails pretending to offer firmware updates, containing malicious links that could lead to financial theft. The company emphasized that it never sends firmware files via email and confirmed no data breaches occurred. This incident highlights the growing threat of crypto phishing scams, which reportedly cost users over $12 million in August alone, representing a 72% increase from July. The warning comes amid broader concerns about crypto security, with recent reports indicating $163 million lost to scams and hacks in August and over $3.1 billion lost in the first half of 2025.

Security firm Mosyle has uncovered ModStealer, a sophisticated malware targeting cryptocurrency users across multiple operating systems. The malware, which evaded detection by major antivirus engines for approximately a month, is designed to extract sensitive data including private keys, certificates, and credential files. According to Hacken’s Stephen Ajayi, basic wallet hygiene and endpoint hardening are essential defenses against such threats. The malware specifically targets wallet extensions on Safari and Chromium-based browsers, demonstrating sophisticated targeting logic for different cryptocurrency wallets. This discovery highlights the growing sophistication of crypto-focused cyber threats and the importance of proactive security measures for digital asset holders.

Apple’s iPhone 17 features a new Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) system that provides hardware-level protection against memory corruption attacks targeting crypto wallets and Passkey signing operations. The system uses Enhanced Memory Tagging Extension technology to detect and block dangerous memory access patterns like out-of-bounds and use-after-free errors. According to cybersecurity firm Hacken, this technology ‘meaningfully’ reduces the risk of attackers using zero-day exploits to hijack signing code. The feature is enabled by default and represents a major security upgrade for cryptocurrency users, particularly those handling significant assets or performing frequent transactions.

CrediX, a recently launched DeFi lending platform, was exploited for $4.5 million after an attacker gained control of an admin wallet with multiple critical roles, including BRIDGE and RISK_ADMIN. The stolen funds, including wrapped USDC tokens, were moved through protocols like deBridge Finance and Shadow Exchange. CrediX has pledged to reimburse users within 24-48 hours. This hack contributes to the alarming $3 billion lost to crypto exploits in 2025, with access-control vulnerabilities accounting for 59% of the losses. The rise in DeFi adoption and emerging technologies like AI underscores the urgent need for robust security measures to combat threats from hackers, insider risks, and human error.
