ZetaChain lost $334K in a hack due to ignored bug reports; April DeFi hacks top $600M in losses.

ZetaChain suffered a $334,000 exploit caused by a previously reported but dismissed vulnerability in its gateway. The team acknowledged ignoring early bug bounty reports, which could have prevented the hack. In April 2026, DeFi hacks collectively caused losses exceeding $600 million, marking the highest monthly total this year. This surge in attacks highlights the urgent need for stronger security measures and proactive threat detection in the crypto industry, especially with emerging AI-powered cyber threats on the horizon.
