AurumCoin

51% attack
Estimated loss
$11.4K
VERDICT —OUT OF SCOPE
Root cause is infrastructure (DNS / cloud / database / third-party API) compromise, not on-chain contract logic. Pre-deployment source review would not surface this; coverage lives in cloud-security + supply-chain audit, separate discipline.
