PeckShield analysts reported that hackers stole $176.2 million from cryptocurrency trading platforms in June. This is three times less than in May, when the losses of platforms dealing with digital assets amounted to $574.6 million.
When the crypto market was “wandering in a bearish zone,” the number of hacks dropped sharply—about 20 hacker attacks were carried out in June. At the same time, the smallest number of hacks in 2024 occurred in April, when hackers managed to steal $60.19 million worth of crypto assets.
The total amount of crypto assets seized by attackers since the beginning of the year exceeded $1.5 billion. According to PeckShield estimates, the largest hack in June was the Turkish cryptocurrency exchange BtcTurk, which lost $100.25 million. The exchange's hot wallets were compromised, which allowed attackers to steal both at least 10 different cryptocurrencies.
The second largest hack in June occurred on the British crypto exchange Lykke. Hackers stole 158 BTC and 2,161 ETH worth more than $22 million from the site. The top five also included the UwU Lend, Holograph and Velocore protocols with losses of $19.4 million, $14.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively.
