According to ChainCatcher, blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs reports that cryptocurrency losses due to attacks in the first half of 2025 could reach $2.1 billion, primarily caused by the leakage of crypto private keys and front-end intrusions.
TRM Labs reports that out of 75 cryptocurrency hacking incidents that have occurred so far this year, over 80% of the stolen funds come from infrastructure attacks. These types of attacks average 10 times the amount of funds stolen compared to other types.
Infrastructure attacks target the technical backbone of systems, aiming to gain unauthorized control, mislead users, or redirect assets, including hijacking crypto wallet private key mnemonic phrases or exploiting parts of the cryptocurrency protocol user interface.
