U.Today and AMBCrypto both cover the same $25.6 million hack of unidentified victims but cite different cumulative 2026 crypto loss figures.
What all sources agree on
- Unknown victims/a crypto whale lost $25.6 million worth of cryptocurrency in the attack.
- The stolen assets were swapped for DAI and ETH.
- PeckShield reported/identified the incident; the victims were not identified.
Where the reports disagree
1Cumulative crypto losses for 2026
According to Nominis, major crypto security incidents resulted in approximately $1.65 billion in losses during the first seven months of 2026.
From an on-chain exploits perspective, over $1.2B has been lost in 2026.
What would settle it: A published methodology or dataset from Nominis (or the on-chain analytics source AMBCrypto relied on) covering the same Jan-Jul 2026 period.
2Assets stolen in the $25.6M hack
the stolen assets included approximately $6.3 million in aWBTC, $5.1 million in DAI, $4.7 million in WBTC and $2.6 million in Ethereum (ETH).
The unknown crypto whale's assets, including WBTC, cbBTC, LDO, USDS, and CRV, worth $25.6M, were drained and swapped for DAI and ETH.
What would settle it: The on-chain transaction record for the exploited wallet address.
What to make of it
Treat the $25.6 million hack itself as established, but the two cited cumulative 2026 loss totals ($1.65B vs $1.2B) differ by more than rounding and should not both be cited as if interchangeable.
