PeckShield Flags $4.3M Suspicious Duelbits Outflows; Cause Unconfirmed

Blockchain security firm PeckShield reported on 24 September 2026 that Duelbits, a prediction-market platform, saw suspicious outflows totalling roughly $4.3 million across Ethereum and BNB Chain, and named the recipient an attacker. The listed amounts were 836 ETH worth about $2.23 million, 1.146 million USDT, 209 BNB worth $160,680, about 96,805 USDC, 12.398 billion SHIB worth $70,170 and 31,515 DAI. PeckShield said the stolen funds were swapped into approximately 1,587.87 ETH, worth around $4.2 million, plus about 31,500 DAI, and that its alert did not identify how the funds were accessed or whether customer balances were affected. Bitcoin Insider, citing secondary reports, put the value of assets moved at approximately $4.2 million across Ethereum, BNB Chain and Tron, and said the transfers went from hot wallets to newly created addresses, raising but not confirming the possibility that private keys or wallet access controls were compromised. The two accounts differ on the headline figure, on whether Tron was involved, and on the $4.3 million against the $3.74 million sum of the individual amounts PeckShield listed, which the alert did not explain. Duelbits has not been reported as issuing a statement, and the entry point for the funds and whether withdrawals were paused remain open.
