Blockchain security firm CertiK forecasts that 2026 will end with 130 crypto wrench attacks, resulting in hundreds of millions in losses. According to BeInCrypto, the firm noted a 41% increase in such attacks in early 2026, with 34 verified incidents from January to April, causing estimated losses of $101 million. Europe saw a significant rise, accounting for 28 of the attacks, with France alone reporting 24 cases. CertiK attributes the surge to industry presence and data breaches, as attackers shift focus to the human layer of the crypto economy.
