As April draws to a close, the month saw the lowest combined losses from crypto-related hacks and scams, security firm CertiK noted.
“Combining all the incidents in April, we’ve confirmed ~$25.7m lost to exploits, hacks, and scams,” the blockchain security firm wrote in a post on X, adding: “The lowest figure we’ve recorded, dating back to 2021.”
CertiK further noted that April’s total loss represents a 141% decrease from the previous month.
Breaking it down, the firm said that roughly $4.3 million was lost to exit scams, $129,000 was lost to flash loans, and $21 million was lost to exploits — according to the incidents it confirmed.
In the first quarter of 2024, the industry has lost $336 million to hacks and fraud, according to Immunefi.
The amount of cryptocurrency funds stolen by hackers in 2023 was estimated at $1.8 billion, half of the $4 billion recorded a year prior.
