Crypto Santa’s Naughty List — List of Top Heists in 2025
Crypto Santa’s Naughty List: 2025 was a record-breaking year for crypto theft, with total losses estimated between $4–5 billion. North Korean hacking groups, particularly Lazarus, were responsible for over 60% of stolen funds. The largest single heist was the February Bybit breach, where $1.5 billion was stolen via a compromised multi-signature wallet. Other major incidents included a $200–400 million Coinbase insider breach, a $90–100 million attack on Iran’s Nobitex, a $48–50 million hot wallet exploit at BtcTurk, and a $91 million phishing scam against an individual Bitcoin holder. The year highlighted growing threats from state-backed actors, sophisticated social engineering, and vulnerabilities in both centralized and DeFi platforms.
