Hacker drains $7.8M from crypto wallet via authorized helper contract

Security firms traced a $7.8 million theft from a crypto wallet to a helper contract the wallet owner had authorized — not to Safe, the smart-contract wallet platform, itself. The drain stemmed from a simple coding mistake in the helper, highlighting how third-party integrations, not core wallet software, can become the weak point in custody. Details on the victim and the attacker were not disclosed.
