Hack or exploit

Reported drain of about $8 million from platform wallets, acknowledged weeks later

An on-chain investigator reported that NoOnes hot wallets were drained of roughly $7.9 million across several networks in early January 2025 through hundreds of small outflows. According to a blockchain-analytics write-up, the platform initially described maintenance and its chief executive acknowledged a loss of about $8 million later that month, attributing it to an exploit of a bridge component, which was then disabled.
