When the chain is on fire, someone answers.
0xCERT is an independent, non-commercial CERT. We coordinate incident response, advisories, and stolen-fund recovery across smart contracts, bridges, wallets, and Web3 infrastructure — on every chain that matters.

How response works
From first message to public advisory.
A repeatable playbook adapted from forty years of CERT practice to a world where the ledger is the crime scene.
- T+001
You reach out
Form, email, or a peer CERT. Partial information is fine — speed beats completeness.
- T+60s02
On-call is paged
A human analyst acknowledges and assigns a case ID (CASE-YYYY-NNNN).
- T+24h03
Triage & containment
War room with your team, exchanges, bridges, and wallet vendors to stop the bleeding.
- T+disclosure04
Public advisory
Post-mortem, IOCs, and remediation published — signed, numbered, and syndicated.
Mission
Nobody owns the incident. So we coordinate it.
Traditional CERTs were designed for IP networks, TLS certificates, and a small set of vendors. Blockchains have none of those assumptions. Code is the bank, the ledger is public, and the attacker keeps the funds the moment a transaction lands.
Protocols, bridges, wallets, validators, and exchanges all touch the blast radius of a single exploit, but none of them have the standing to coordinate the others. We do.
We are non-commercial, vendor-neutral, and chain-agnostic. We don't sell a product. We answer the phone, run the war room, publish the advisory, and feed the IOC list to everyone who needs it — for free.

Kintsu DNS Hijack (StepDrainer Campaign)
Kintsu's website was hijacked via a registrar-level DNS attack and rerouted to a StepDrainer wallet-drainer page, in a campaign that also hit Flap and StonkBrokers.
filecoin-pin upload GitHub Action lets fork PRs spend the repository owner's Filecoin wallet
The filecoin-pin upload GitHub Action before 1.1.0 skips its fork check under workflow_run, letting an external contributor's fork PR upload attacker-controlled artifacts using, and spending funds from, the repository's Filecoin wallet. Upgrade to 1.1.0.
CVE-2026-62335: OpenVM
OpenVM is a performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility. Before 1.7.0 in the 1.x line and in affected 2.0 and 2.1 prereleases, `OpenVmHalo2Verifier.verify` accepts `appExeCommit` and `appVmCommit` as `bytes32` values without checking that either is less than the `BN254` scalar field modulus. Although public-value and proof-data lengths are checked, callers can provide non-canonical 256-bit encodings greater than or equal to that modulus at the Solidity wrapper boundary. Applications relying on the wrapper can therefore accept non-canonical app executable an…
