Cryptocurrencies are facing fierce attacks....‼️‼️
Losses from hacks exceeded $11.4 billion in 2025 and 2026 so far.
2025: $2.7 billion in losses
2026: $8.7 billion in losses across 326 hacks
Biggest cases:
February 2025 - Bybit: $1.5 billion stolen
In just the past two months:
September 6 - Liquid: $320 million
September 24 - Bitget: $387 million
October 29 - Binance: $6.36 billion
And several smaller hacks worth between $3 million and $16 million
November 2 - Brazil’s Mercado Bitcoin: suspicious transfers exceeding $40 million, with losses still being tallied.
How they hack systems: by exploiting software, stealing private keys, and infiltrating internal systems.
The most frightening thing is the speed.
In the Binance hack, funds moved through 12,000 wallets across 11 blockchains in less than 4 days. That’s one wallet every 25 seconds.
Artificial intelligence is making things worse.
Google discovered hackers developing automated hacking tools in less than 6 hours.
Anthropic discovered hacks carried out in 2 to 3 hours with the help of AI.
AI helps find vulnerabilities, create tools, and attack many targets at once. What once required large teams can now be done by a handful of people in less time.
