Crypto Chronicles 2024: A Year of Highs, Lows, and Unprecedented Breaches
🔒 2024 in Review: The Year Crypto Security Faced Its Biggest Test
From record-breaking hacks to the rising dominance of Lazarus Group, 2024 has been a turbulent year for the crypto industry. With a staggering $2.2 billion lost to hacks (+21% YoY), the sector is at a critical juncture to strengthen security and rebuild trust.
Here are some of the year's biggest incidents:
1️⃣ DMM Bitcoin Breach: 4,500 BTC stolen, signaling the challenges of centralized platforms.
2️⃣ PlayDapp Smart Contract Flaw: Over 1.7 billion tokens minted and dumped, crippling the project.
3️⃣ WazirX Multi-Sig Mishap: A $235M loss impacting 15M users.
North Korea’s Lazarus Group alone was responsible for $1.3 billion, cementing its place as crypto’s most formidable adversary.
🌐 Despite the turbulence, the market remains resilient with a global cap of $3.37T (+1.18% in 24h). Bitcoin’s price holds strong at $96,427, while Ethereum sees steady growth at $3,406.
