🛑 May: $244 million stolen from crypto. Are your coins next?
In May 2025, hackers stole $244.1 million from crypto projects. This is less than in April (where it was nearly $400 million), but the numbers are still shocking.
The biggest attacks: 🔻 Cetus Protocol on SUI — $220 million loss
🔻 Cork Protocol — $12 million due to a vulnerable smart contract
🔻 MBU/Mobius Token — $2.2 million
🔻 North Korea-related attack — $5.2 million
🔻 MaplestoryU — $1.2 million
Analysts say: in most cases, the problems lie in the code, not in the users.
⚠️ But there were also attacks on wallets through “address poisoning” — this is when a fake address from transaction history is presented to the user. One such trap resulted in a loss of 2.6 million USDT.

📌 The conclusion is simple:
Always check addresses manually
Don’t keep all assets in one place
And don’t think this only concerns “big projects.” Tomorrow, it could be anyone.
