Not a good week for darkweb operators. Multiple international law enforcement agencies announced arrests ranging from malware and ransomware gangs to darkweb marketplace distributors.

CREAM Finance caused a mess not only for the astronomical amount stolen, but scaring AAVE users from pulling billions in liquidity thinking it may also be exploited. It’s always fun to watch DeFi hackers getting sniped by MEV bots which is exactly what happened in the MCN Token hack which also gets the silliest vulnerability award for leaving the burn function open.
