The crypto industry has lost $11.5 billion to hacking in two years: 328 attacks this year!!! (Full summary) The crypto industry has become a cash cow for hackers. According to DefiLlama's statistics: In 2025, the crypto industry lost approximately $2.72 billion due to hacking attacks, involving 148 incidents; As of November 2, 2026, losses had already reached approximately $8.78 billion, involving 328 incidents; Monthly stolen amounts in 2026: January: $104.1 million February: $21.5 million March: $42.7 million April: $648.1 million May: $83.1 million June: $86.9 million July: $254.7 million August: $255.5 million September: $742.8 million October: Approximately $6.5 billion November: Approximately $40 million - $48.5 million (as of November 2) Major Security Incidents in 2026 January: Step Finance, approximately $40 million, private key breach. April: Drift Protocol, approximately $295 million; KelpDAO, approximately $293 million, cross-chain bridge security incident. July: Coldcard, approximately $116 million, hardware wallet firmware random number issue. August: Tectonic, approximately $124.5 million; Nesa, approximately $50 million. September: Liquid Network, approximately $320 million, sidechain verification mechanism vulnerability; Bitget, approximately $387 million, hot wallet security system attacked. October: Ledger reseller supply chain attack, approximately $93 million; 79th Vault, approximately $12.5 million; Gamdom, approximately $4.21 million; NGRAVE, approximately $2.6 million; CoinDCX, approximately $16 million; X100, approximately $4.75 million; Avalanche Safe multi-signature incident, approximately $7.45 million; NEAR Intents, approximately $3.8 million, subsequently fully recovered. October 29: Binance, approximately $6.36 billion, becoming one of the worst thefts in crypto history. November 2: Mercado Bitcoin, Brazil's largest exchange, confirmed a security incident involving abnormal on-chain transactions amounting to approximately $40 million to $48.5 million; the final loss is still pending confirmation. The most alarming change: Hackers are no longer limited to finding smart contract vulnerabilities. Exchange back-end systems, hot wallets, private key management, cross-chain bridges, hardware wallet supply chains, DevOps devices, multi-signature authorization—the entire crypto infrastructure is becoming a target. In the Binance incident, hackers transferred funds through approximately 12,000 wallets, 11 blockchains, and over 40,000 transactions in less than four days, averaging a new wallet appearing every 25 seconds. AI is further reducing the time cost of cyberattacks. Google has disclosed automated credential theft operations completed in less than six hours, and Anthropic has also discovered intrusion operations completed by attackers using AI in two to three hours. The scale of funds in the crypto industry is growing larger, and the level of automation among attackers is increasing, but the industry's security measures are far from keeping pace with the growth of assets.
