Incidents
What was exploited, which assumption was wrong, and how the attack path came together, with the numbers behind it drawn from a hand-built dataset going back to 2011.
About
What BlockThreat is.
BlockThreat is an independent weekly briefing on blockchain security. Each edition collects the incidents, vulnerabilities, postmortems, and research of the past week, explains what actually broke, and keeps the lessons worth carrying forward.
It is researched and written by hand by a working security practitioner. Nothing is scraped from a feed, generated as an AI summary, or included because someone paid for it.

Inside an edition
Four things, every week.
Every item earns its place. If a week is quiet, the briefing is short.
Vulnerabilities
Disclosures, bug bounty findings, and recurring failure modes across protocols, bridges, wallets, infrastructure, and the tooling everyone depends on.
Research & tooling
The papers, technical write-ups, new techniques, and defensive tools worth your time, with enough context to know why each one is here.
Ecosystem
Policy, enforcement, funding, and the ecosystem changes that shift attacker behavior or the way security teams have to operate.
Who writes it

BlockThreat is researched and written by Peter Kacherginsky, a security practitioner with more than 20 years of experience investigating threats, responding to incidents, and translating technical risk into decisions people can act on.
