Cryptocurrency theft frenzy: Losses doubled in the first half of 2024, $1.38 billion disappeared

The latest report from blockchain intelligence company TRM shows that cryptocurrency thefts in the first half of 2024 doubled from 2023, with losses reaching $1.38 billion. Major hacking attacks accounted for 70% of the total losses, with private key leaks and smart contract vulnerabilities becoming the main means of attack.

2024 witnessed several large-scale thefts, including the loss of more than 4,500 BTC worth more than $300 million from Japanese cryptocurrency exchange DMM Bitcoin. This trend shows that although the number of thefts has increased compared to 2023, it is still one-third less than in 2022.

In response to the growing security threats, TRM recommends that crypto projects adopt a comprehensive defense strategy, including regular security audits, enhanced encryption measures, multi-signature wallets, secure coding practices, and cultivating a culture of security awareness. In addition, an effective incident response strategy and a defense-in-depth approach are essential to prevent intrusions.
