Recent developments
On 2026-08-25, Cosmos requested validators to halt chains after an EVM breach that lost 148.3M KII, with multiple Cosmos EVM chains disrupted as teams contained a shared security issue.
Historical context
The 2026-08-25 coverage aligns with the recorded timeline security incident entry for that date, and the timeline adds a 2026-08-27 development about a hacker minting $50 million and walking away with $60,000.
Risk factors
Evidence records a shared bug draining three networks, an EVM breach causing loss of 148.3M KII, and a hacker minting $50 million, showing concrete security failures in EVM chain operations.
Outlook
Will Cosmos Labs mitigate the shared EVM bug? How will halted chains resume? What steps will prevent further minting exploits?

11 recorded events- 27 Aug 2026DevelopmentCosmos EVM Hacker Minted $50 Million — and Walked Away With Just $60,000
An attacker exploited a vulnerability in the Cosmos EVM to move $50 million of Nesa (NES) off the project’s chain. However, the payout came to $60,000. Blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps traced the wallets involved. Liquidity vanished from the pools before the selling finished, and extreme slippage swallowed almost the entire position.
