0G Foundation reports losing $520K to DeFi hack

2025/12/14 05:10

A cyberattack on the 0G Foundation has resulted in the theft of over half a million dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency, according to the company.

The foundation, which is building what it describes as the world’s first decentralized and open AI operating system, reported that an attacker stole 520,010 $0G tokens that were later bridged out and routed through Tornado Cash. Additional losses included 9.93 ether and roughly $4,200 in USDT, bringing the total confirmed loss to around $520,000 at the time of the theft.

Exploit traced to leaked private key

According to the foundation, the attacker exploited an emergency withdrawal function in the affected reward contract after gaining access to a private key that had been inadvertently stored on a compromised cloud server.

The key was linked to an Alibaba Cloud instance responsible for managing NFT status and reward updates.

“The attacker accessed a leaked private key from an AliCloud instance,” the foundation said, adding that storing plaintext private keys locally was a critical operational failure, saying, “this is a practice we now know must never happen again.”

Further investigation revealed that the breach was not limited to a single server. The foundation said multiple AliCloud instances were compromised after attackers exploited a critical vulnerability in the popular Next.js web framework, tracked as CVE-2025-66478, on December 5. Using internal IP addresses, the attacker was able to move laterally across systems, affecting a wide range of services.

These included the alignment service, a validator node, the Gravity NFT service, node sale infrastructure, and several ecosystem products such as Compute, Aiverse, Perpdex, and Ascend.

However, the foundation has maintained that no additional losses tied directly to user-held assets have been identified.

CertiK, a blockchain security firm, flagged the suspicious withdrawals from a 0G-related reward contract earlier, estimating losses in line with figures that were later confirmed by the foundation.

What’s next for 0G Foundation?

0G foundation claims that it has implemented immediate security measures. The organization has also patched the Next.js vulnerability and rebuilt affected services.

As part of what 0G said it is doing to prevent a repeat incident, the foundation claims it will migrate all key-bearing services to Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), implement multi-signature wallet requirements for critical fund management, and adopt zero-trust security principles across its infrastructure.

The hack incident that 0G Foundation reported comes after it raised over $290 million in November 2024, including a $40 million seed funding round led by Hack VC with participation from Delphi Ventures, OKX Ventures, Samsung Next, Animoca Brands, among other investors. That raise made it $325 million in committed funding for the platform.

0G conceded that the breach is “a painful but necessary wake-up call.” It also promised to release a full post-mortem report, which its community can look forward to knowing more about how the foundation lost $520,000 to bad actors.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
