⚠️ Since the beginning of 2024, the crypto industry has lost over $1.2 billion due to hacks and fraud across 154 incidents.
This figure is 15.5% higher than the total for the first eight months of last year, according to experts at Immunefi.
They noted that this increase occurred despite a 95% reduction in damage in August — with a total of $15.1 million compared to $274.7 million in July. Contrary to the trend observed by Chainalysis, where the focus of attackers was shifting to centralized exchanges, all five incidents in August were related to DeFi.
