A staggering 80% of crypto projects that endure a major hacking incident never fully recover. The primary cause is not the initial financial loss, but the subsequent collapse of operational and trust systems during the response phase. This highlights a significant gap between rapid Web3 innovation and the adoption of robust, proactive security measures.
The Critical Failure Points
When a breach occurs, the immediate aftermath is often the most destructive period. Many project teams are paralyzed by hesitation and a lack of preparedness, exacerbating losses.
Absence of Incident Response Plans: Most protocols lack pre-established plans for security incidents. In the crucial initial hours, this leads to slow decision-making, allowing attackers more time to drain funds and cause further damage.
Trust Erosion: Fearing reputational damage, teams may hesitate to pause smart contracts or communicate openly with users. This silence fuels panic and permanently damages community trust, causing users and liquidity to disappear, which is often an irreversible "death sentence" for the project.
Operational Security Gaps: Weak operational security, such as poorly secured private keys or compromised multi-signature setups, remains a top threat vector. Human error is often the weakest link, susceptible to increasingly sophisticated social engineering attacks.
Common Vulnerabilities
Web3 security risks are a mix of traditional and unique challenges:
Smart Contract Flaws: Logical errors and vulnerabilities in smart contract code are common attack vectors. Once deployed, these errors are often immutable, making them difficult to correct.
Cross-Chain Bridge Issues: Bridges that connect different blockchains are frequent targets, often due to their complexity and reliance on centralized components.
Phishing and Social Engineering: Human-layer attacks are highly effective in the self-custody environment of Web3, tricking users into revealing sensitive information or approving malicious transactions.
A Call for Proactive Security
To improve recovery rates, the Web3 ecosystem needs to mature its security practices. This means moving beyond a reliance solely on third-party audits and implementing a holistic approach.
Layered Security: Combining audits with in-house measures like static analysis, unit testing, and vulnerability scanning is essential.
Transparency and Education: Fostering a security-first culture internally and educating users on safe practices can mitigate risks.
Robust Incident Planning: Having a clear, practiced incident response plan is critical to acting swiftly and containing a breach effectively.
The data from Immunefi's CEO Mitchell Amador indicates that while the technology is innovative, the human and operational elements of Web3 security urgently need to catch up to ensure long-term sustainability

Hackeři zneužili účet k propagaci podvodných tokenů
Účet @TrumpDailyPosts na platformě X (dříve Twitter) byl hacknut a zneužíván k šíření falešných adres meme coinů. Zkompromitovaný účet nadále aktivně propaguje několik podvodných tokenů, včetně falešného tokenu s názvem $POWER.
Podle Scam Sniffer, platformy Web3 zaměřené na boj proti podvodům, hackeři nejen zveřejňují, ale také rychle odstraňují obsah související s těmito podvodnými schématy. Uživatelé by měli ověřit důvěryhodnost jakýchkoli investičních slibů, zejména těch, které pocházejí ze zkompromitovaných účtů.

Ve středu v noci se na blockchainu Ethereum objevila tajemná zpráva — přímé posměšky zaměřené na jednoho z nejvýznamnějších vyšetřovatelů kryptoměn. Odesílatel? Hacker spojený s nedávným masivním únikem dat na Coinbase, který kompromitoval účty více než 69 000 uživatelů a může stát burzu stovky milionů dolarů.
Posměšek, který jednoduše zněl "L bozo", byl zakomponován do transakce a měl za cíl posmívat se vyšetřovateli. Hacker dokonce zahrnul odkaz na virální meme video s NBA Hall of Famerem Jamesem Worthym, jak kouří doutník, což provokaci ještě zvýšilo.
