More money has been lost this year than all last year
We're four months now until 2025, and according to Immunefi's ReportEvil actors have hired $ 1.7 billion away from the crypto world to this day.
The number looks huge, and this is because the industry has lost about $ 420 million around the same time. In essence, this year is four times worse than 2024. The $ 1.7 billion reported stolen within the first four months of this year is more than the total amount of money stolen in 2024, worth $ 1.49 billion.
Just this month, hackers went away with $ 92.5 million, representing a 27% increase compared to what they stole last April, when they robbed nearly $ 72.6 million. It is also more than the $ 41.4 million they stole in March this year, which means this month is twice as bad in March.
The largest loser of 2025
According to Immunefi, approximately ten projects have hit the hardest in hacks, which have lost ways -thousands of dollars in most cases.
However, of these ten projects, two stand for the loss of the most. They include UPCX, which has lost up to $ 70 million, while Kiloex lost $ 7.5 million.
Other projects that have lost money include loopscale, zksync, and term labs, although their losses are limited to the largest incidents, from $ 84,100 to $ 5.8 million. Fortunately, some of the stolen funds have recovered thanks to the help of on-chain sleuths like ZachXBT.
According to the report, all the currency that has been away from the hacks instead of fraud. In fact, no one case of fraud has been reported, according to Immunefi.
As for the chains where these attacks dropped, Ethereum led the poll with five different attacks, while the BNB endured only four attacks.
The total amount of money lost in the same chain made up 60% of all stolen funds in April. Of course, they are not the only two chain hits. Other chains such as the base, arbitrum, solana, sonic, and zkync are also -hit. However, hacks occur more often compared to those in Ethereum and BSC.
