Yes—$2.1B! That’s how much crypto vanished in hacks and exploits during the first half of 2025, marking the worst six-month stretch in history for digital asset security.
🕵️ Key Insights from TRM Labs:
75 separate incidents compromised wallets, exchanges, and DeFi protocols
80% of losses were from infrastructure-level attacks: private key thefts, wallet exploits, fake front-ends
North Korea-linked groups (like Lazarus/APT38) stole a staggering $1.6B — nearly 70% of the total
A single hack on Bybit in February accounted for $1.5B, making it the largest crypto heist ever
⚠️ Why It Should Terrify You:
These hacks aren’t amateur schemes—they’re state-backed cyber operations
Even top-tier exchanges like Bybit and Nobitex aren’t safe
If your private key, seed phrase, or wallet front-end is compromised—your funds are gone for good
✅ Protect Yourself NOW:
1. Use hardware or multisig wallets for large holdings
2. Avoid browser/mobile wallets for long-term storage
3. Revoke all dApp approvals regularly
4. Never share private keys or seed phrases with anyone
5. Watch for phishing domains—always verify the URL
Crypto’s explosive growth has painted a massive target on its back. Experts are calling this era “Crypto’s Security Apocalypse.” It’s not just a warning—it’s a wake-up call.
Make no mistake:
If you’re not secure, you’re next.
