- Bitquery estimated $401,900 in losses across nine wallets
- About $305,000 came from one Aave deposit token

CryptoSlate, citing a November 12 Bitquery update, reported that a hijack of the Across Protocol website resulted in estimated losses of $401,900 across nine wallets. The estimate includes roughly $305,000 associated with a single 
Aave deposit token, making it the largest identified component of the reported losses.
The available coverage is limited to CryptoSlate’s summary of Bitquery’s figures, and no additional outlet coverage was supplied to independently corroborate the wallet count or loss estimate. The published summary does not provide a wallet-by-wallet breakdown or further detail about how the compromised website affected transactions.
Bitquery’s estimate places the incident in the context of DeFi activity, where Aave remains a major lending platform by total value locked. Verified aggregator data from DeFiLlama showed Aave TVL at $15.99 billion, down 1.6% over seven days. That protocol-wide figure does not quantify the losses tied to the website hijack.
Live market conditions were broadly weak: total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.44 trillion, 
Bitcoin was down 3.87% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index registered 20, or Extreme Fear. AAVE traded at $114.38, falling 4.16% over 24 hours and 10.96% over seven days, while its market capitalization was $1.77 billion. The next point for scrutiny is whether Bitquery revises its nine-wallet, $401,900 estimate as the incident is further analyzed.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Aave (AAVE) has moved from $114.38 to $113.93 — -0.39%.
The chart plots AAVE's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 AAVE ≈ ₦160,325.71 (about $113.93), down 3.8% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 4.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
