Data: There are 65,340 high-risk addresses associated with ETH and BNB Chain, with losses exceeding 574 million dollars

A study published at USENIX Security '26 shows that researchers identified 65,340 high-risk crypto addresses associated with abuse on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with associated native token losses amounting to 126,982.94 ETH and 17,726.7 BNB.

The study estimates that the total losses associated with these addresses exceed $574.8 million, with two newly described active attack vectors directly leading to approximately $15.7 million in losses (accounting for 2.7%).

The first type involves misuse of contract accounts and exploitation of deterministic contract addresses; the second type uses EIP-7702 to delegate accounts exposing keys to malicious code for direct fund transfers. The research team extracted over 16.3 million deduplicated private keys by mining 63,004 GitHub repositories from January 2015 to May 2025, with an overall detection accuracy of 99.11%.
