Among them, access control vulnerabilities are the most common type of attack, causing losses of US$682 million, accounting for 83% of the total losses. The losses were spread across 26 separate incidents, with four major incidents including a $290 million breach of gaming platform Playdapp, a $112 million theft of Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen’s wallet, an $80 million theft of the Orbit chain bridge, and Web3 Gaming Protocol Munchables raked in $63 million on Blast.
