Two Crypto Hacks Drain Over $51M Through Key Compromises
TL;DR:
- A private key compromise hack stole more than $26M from three wallets linked to whale TLBL, who had already lost $24M in 2024.
- PeckShield identified the stolen assets: $6.3M in aWBTC, $5.1M in DAI, $4.7M in WBTC and $2.6M in ETH, later partially converted into DAI and ETH.
- In the first half of 2026, $1.1 billion was stolen across 212 attacks; private key misuse accounted for nearly 75% of all cases.
A hack via private key compromise caused losses of more than $26 million in assets across three wallets linked to the whale known as TLBL, according to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain.
