[50 Hacking Incidents in the Crypto Industry in August, $136.3 Million Lost, AEREDIUM Launches AERSeal] Odaily Planet Daily News: According to PeckShield data, there were 50 major hacking incidents in the crypto industry in August 2026, a 67% increase compared to July. Losses decreased to $136.3 million, down 49.5%. Among them, Tectonicfi suffered losses of approximately $74 million, while only about $6 million was transferred out after Cronos suspended its network. Digital asset security company AEREDIUM has launched AERSeal, which aims to replace the single private key used for controlling privileged smart contract functions with a multi-party authorized threshold signature. The product stores key shares separately in hardware-certified secure isolation environments and supports Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and compatible chains. AERSeal does not reconstruct a complete private key but instead generates signatures through the CGGMP24 threshold signature protocol. AEREDIUM founder and CEO Albert Dadon stated that the product can transfer permissions such as minting and upgrading to threshold keys, with on-chain verification confirming the transfer's completion. Clients can also independently verify the assigned threshold keys. (Bitcoin.com News)
