$USDC HACK STUNS DEFI AS HINKAL LOSES 820K IN SMART CONTRACT EXPLOIT 🔥
Hinkal, a stablecoin privacy protocol, was drained of ~820,000 $USDC through a critical smart contract flaw. The attacker exploited the prooflessDeposit() function, bypassing cryptographic verification to execute repeated withdrawals. Technical details remain under wraps, but the flaw likely stems from missing deposit validation.
This incident adds to a grim 2026 tally: 207 separate hacks in six months alone, per TRM Labs. Total losses sit at $948M — still half of the $2.3B stolen in H1 2025. With DeFi exploit vectors evolving, how are you auditing projects before committing capital?
