Crypto Hacks Drop in 2023 But Remain High as Hackers Steal $2 Billion Across Cyberattacks
- Hackers stole around $2 billion in crypto in 2023 across dozens of cyberattacks, according to crypto security firm De.FI
- This is down from the record $3.8 billion stolen in 2022, though still a massive figure
- The biggest crypto hacks of 2023 include Mixin Network ($200 million), Euler Finance ($200 million), and attacks on Multichain, BonqDAO, Poloniex, and Atomic Wallet
- Blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs estimates $1.7 billion was stolen as of mid-December
- Experts expect hackers to continue targeting the crypto and web3 space given the poor security of many projects and the huge monetary value they hold
