May 2025 wasn’t kind to #Web3

According to blockchain security firm #CertiK, the crypto world saw a jaw-dropping $302.39 million vanish due to hacks, scams, and vulnerabilities — making it one of the worst months of the year for crypto security.

Key Numbers That Shocked the Space:

  • $225M was lost in the Cetus Exploit alone — the biggest blow of the month.

  • $241M came from DeFi-related hacks, confirming that attackers are still heavily targeting decentralized protocols.

  • $47.6M was stolen through phishing attacks, preying on users through fake links and social engineering.

  • The root cause? Most of the losses came from poorly written or unpatched smart contracts.

Despite the chaos, only $16.3 million has been recovered so far — a small fraction of the total damage.

What This Means for You:

Whether you're a trader, builder, or investor — this is your wake-up call.

  • Don’t click on suspicious links.

  • Always double-check URLs and wallet permissions.

  • Use protocols that have strong audits and active security teams.

Web3 is growing, but so are the risks.

Security is no longer optional — it’s your first line of defense in this digital world.

🔥 Protect your bags before it's too late.
