Forta Firewall Expands Sanctions Screening to 1-Hop Addresses
👀 One hop closer
Forta Firewall has enhanced its compliance capabilities by adding 1-hop OFAC screening to its real-time monitoring system.
Key Features:
- Blocks wallets directly connected to sanctioned addresses
- Maintains sub-6ms latency with zero transaction flow impact
- Covers OFAC, UK, and EU sanctions lists
This expansion addresses growing regulatory pressure on blockchain networks to implement comprehensive compliance screening. The technology flags and blocks not just sanctioned addresses, but also wallets one transaction away from them.

Flash Loan Attack Drains $2M from NGP Protocol on BNB Chain
A sophisticated attacker exploited NGP protocol on BNB Chain, **draining $2 million** through a flash loan manipulation scheme. **Attack Method:** - Used flash loans to distort price feeds - Bypassed built-in buy limits - Successfully cashed out before detection **Detection Response:** Forta Firewall **flagged the attack instantly**, demonstrating real-time monitoring capabilities. This follows a pattern of similar price manipulation exploits on BSC, including a recent $158K drain targeting D3X_AI. **Key Takeaway:** While detection systems are improving, attackers continue finding ways to exploit DeFi protocols through **sophisticated price manipulation techniques**. The incident highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between security systems and malicious actors in decentralized finance.
