According to the blockchain security company CertiK, cryptocurrency losses in April increased by 1163%, with the theft of a wallet from an elderly American being the main cause.

CertiK noted in a post on X on April 30 that a total of 364 million dollars was lost in April due to attacks, hackers, and scams, while in March it was only 28.8 million dollars.

The company added that white-hat hackers have returned approximately 18.2 million dollars from vulnerabilities in cryptocurrency protocols such as KiloEx, Loopscale, and ZKsync, thus reducing the total loss for this month.
