Yesâ$2.1B! Thatâs 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.
đľď¸ 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 â nearly 70% of the total
A single hack on Bybit in February accounted for $1.5B, making it the largest crypto heist ever
â ď¸ Why It Should Terrify You:
These hacks arenât amateur schemesâtheyâre state-backed cyber operations
Even top-tier exchanges like Bybit and Nobitex arenât safe
If your private key, seed phrase, or wallet front-end is compromisedâyour funds are gone for good
â 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 domainsâalways verify the URL
Cryptoâs explosive growth has painted a massive target on its back. Experts are calling this era âCryptoâs Security Apocalypse.â Itâs not just a warningâitâs a wake-up call.
Make no mistake:
If youâre not secure, youâre next.
