Optimism Wallet Security Is Broken and Users Don't Know It
On the surface, every Optimism wallet user appears to have Ethereum's security model. But it's an expensive assumption. Wallet exploits against Optimism users have drained roughly $47 million into OP addresses over the course of 2025 and early 2026. Not the big headline stories. Thousands of little ones that add up.
