Cryptohack Roundup: Turkey Holds Hex Founder, Seizes $7.15M

Turkish authorities detained cryptocurrency founder Richard Heart and seized $7.15 million in assets. The roundup also covers several separate incidents: attackers exploited Cysic's bridge to mint unauthorized tokens, fraudulent Ngrave security alerts led to $2.65 million in theft, and Qubic restarted its blockchain following a $1.4 million token theft.

Why it matters: Cryptocurrency users and exchanges face exposure to bridge exploits, fake security alerts impersonating hardware wallet vendors, and token theft affecting multiple blockchain projects.
