Crypto hackers have ramped up their activities in 2024, stealing over $2.3 billion from the Web3 ecosystem, a 40% increase from 2023. This surge coincides with Bitcoin's milestone, surpassing $100,000. Centralized exchanges and crypto custodians were major targets, losing $1.9 billion due to access control breaches. Smart contract exploits and address poisoning scams also contributed to the losses. To combat these threats, experts urge improved security measures and vigilance, especially with potential North Korean targets like Bitcoin ETFs on the horizon.
