Bankr Hack

Reported loss $480K
Base
Social Account Takeover

What happened

On July 25, 2026, Bankr's official @bankrbot X account was compromised and used to post fake airdrop links. Reporting based on SlowMist estimated that a project-linked wallet lost about $479,885 in BNKR; Bankr said its infrastructure and product were not compromised.

How it happened

The public record ties the incident to loss of control over the official X identity and an associated project wallet that reportedly lacked Bankr's separate in-app MFA. The exact X-account compromise route and a complete on-chain loss ledger were not publicly established in the reviewed sources.
