** No Rug Pulls & Scams Included

** Exploited/Lost calculates the lost value based on exchange rate at the time. Many times, the loss is presented in USD value since multiple tokens are lost.

** Any Loss over $10 million or 5000 ETH is bolded (calculated at $2000 per ETH)

** Some Post-Mortems are taken down after being released, so the links may not always work (in such case, use Wayback).
