On May 13, 2026 at 23:22:02 UTC (BNB Chain block `98134017`), attacker EOA `0xcb26b3a469c5aee911d059a25de2b26ed52826e9` executed transaction `0x2fdd6aef515fb06ce803c55086bb71de712631979809c135cf6d02be133f5cdb`, which deployed bootstrap contract `0x8aa9cb61885121448f1bf9a5df80ec36c6fbd535` and executor `0xe812f2e6cdffdfa4ca496db0716a53301c37b705`. The attacker used Moolah proxy `0x8f73b65b4caaf64fba2af91cc5d4a2a1318e5d8c` as an unsafe flash-loan callback entrypoint, then composed nested flash loans, a large USDT borrow, and a deep Pancake/Vault […]

On May 12, 2026 at 10:11:11 UTC, the SQ protocol on BNB Chain was exploited for 346,137.034345 USDT after the attacker abused a hardcoded owner backdoor in the verified `Staking` contract at `0x404404a845fff0201f3a4d419b4839fc419c99f7`.

The attacker used a 120 WETH Morpho flash loan to push the ETH/PERP Uniswap v4 pool price upward, opened nine leveraged long positions through `BoostHook.openLong()` while the pool was temporarily overpriced, then reversed the price move and […]

# Exploiting the Tesla Wall Connector from its charge port connector – Part 2: bypassing the anti-downgrade In a previous article, we presented an attack against the Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 used during Pwn2Own Automotive 2025.
