Vulcan Forged

Another unfortunate victim is Vulcan Forged. The company manages a number of different crypto services and products, including a DeFi platform, an NFT market, and several play-to-earn token-based video games. Anyway, Vulcan reportedly got robbed of $140 million earlier this month, when a hacker somehow managed to get ahold of the private keys to 96 of the platform’s wallets and made off with every last cent inside of them. According to estimates, the hacker stole an average of $1.46 million per wallet. Unlike a lot of crypto platforms, Vulcan actually refunded the money that had been lost to investors—a very charitable move that probably helped it save face.
