⚠️ ALERT: Over the past decade, crypto hackers have stolen more than $17 billion across 518 incidents, according to DefiLlama.
That breaks down to roughly $33 million per breach, with a major exploit happening nearly every single week for ten years straight.
Private key compromises account for the largest share of losses, exceeding $3.6 billion, often driven by brute force style attacks.
2025 stands out as the worst year so far, with total damages surpassing $4.04 billion.
Most recently, Kelp DAO’s rsETH bridge was exploited for around $290 million, making it the biggest DeFi hack reported in 2026 up to now.
