Crypto hacks hit record high in H1 2026 – What’s fueling the surge?

According to TRM Labs, crypto hacks reached a record high in the first half of 2026 with 207 incidents, more than double the 85 reported in H1 2025. While the number of breaches surged, the total value stolen fell to $972 million, less than half the $2.3 billion lost in the same period the previous year. Smart contract exploits were the most common attack type, constituting 125 cases. However, TRM Labs' Ari Redbord noted that three-quarters of the stolen value came from infrastructure failures like compromised keys and custody systems, highlighting a gap between improved code auditing and lagging operational security. Notably, North Korean-linked actors were responsible for 66% of the stolen funds. Major exploits, such as the $293 million attack on KelpDAO, triggered liquidity crises in protocols like Aave and contributed to a broader loss of confidence in DeFi, leading to significant capital outflows and a drop in Total Value Locked to a two-year low of $70 billion.

Crypto Hacks Drop to $26.5M in February Amid Security Gains

Crypto hacks and scams plummeted to a multi-year low in February, totaling approximately $26.5 million across 15 incidents. This represents a significant 69.2% decrease from January's $86 million in losses. The two largest attacks accounted for the majority: a $10 million price manipulation hack on YieldBlox’s lending pool and an $8.9 million private key exploit on IoTeX. Security firm PeckShield attributed the sharp decline to a lack of "mega-hacks" and a shift in focus due to market volatility. Analysts suggest capital is becoming more selective, rewarding protocols with stronger security, and that improved risk controls, audits, and AI-powered tools are contributing to a broader trend of enhanced crypto security.

Crypto hacks surge to $3.4B! OKX CEO flags THIS as a key threat

Crypto hacks surged to $3.4 billion in 2025, with North Korean hackers responsible for over $2 billion of the losses. Recent victims include DeBot, which lost $255,000, and Trust Wallet, which lost $7 million. OKX CEO Star Xu identified DEX bots and custodial wallets as major new risk factors, noting that many require users to store private keys in the cloud. He emphasized that security and usability can coexist through institutional-grade controls and local authentication like passkeys. The report highlights a significant rise in personal wallet compromises and social engineering attacks, urging users to exercise increased vigilance and adopt stronger security practices.

Crypto hack counts fall but supply chain attacks reshape threat landscape

New data from CertiK reveals that while crypto hackers stole $3.3 billion in 2025, the number of attacks fell sharply. Losses were concentrated in fewer, more damaging supply-chain attacks, which accounted for $1.45 billion across just two incidents, including the $1.4 billion Bybit hack. This shift indicates attackers are moving away from simple code vulnerabilities toward more sophisticated infrastructure-level exploits. The number of security incidents decreased by 162 year-over-year, suggesting improved protocol-level security. The median loss per hack fell 35.75% to $103,966, though the average loss rose to $5.3 million due to high-value outliers. Phishing scams were the second-largest threat, costing $722 million across 248 incidents. A significant subset was "pig butchering" romance scams, which used prolonged emotional manipulation and cost the industry $5.5 billion in 2024.
