When Hackers Met Their Match: Venus Protocol’s $13.5M Heist Gone Wrong 😅

On September 2, 2025, Kuan Sun-a major Venus Protocol user-fell victim to what we’ll now call “The Great Zoom Scam.” The hackers, part of the notorious Lazarus Group (yes, the same folks who’ve been stealing billions like it’s a hobby), tricked him into giving them control of his account. With that access, they started borrowing and withdrawing funds faster than you can say “crypto chaos.” Wrapped Bitcoin, USD Coin, Tether, XRP, Ethereum-you name it, they took it. At first glance, it looked like a $27 million disaster, but after some accounting magic, the actual theft totaled $13.5 million. Still bad, but hey, every silver lining counts, right? 🤷♂️
