[Immunefi: Cryptocurrency hackers stole more than $1.2 billion in 2024, and the amount stolen in August fell 94% from July] Golden Finance reported that following the latest hack in August, cryptocurrency hackers have now stolen more than $1.2 billion, further raising concerns about the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. So far in 2024, there have been 154 hacking and thefts in the crypto industry, resulting in a loss of $1.21 billion worth of digital assets. According to a report from Immunefi, this figure increased by 15.5% compared to the same period in 2023, when the total losses were slightly over $1 billion. Mitchell Amador, founder and CEO of Immunefi, said this worrying development could cause hackers to steal more than this level in 2023. "It's difficult to make predictions, but the ecosystem is always at risk of a serious and successful attack, which could significantly increase these numbers. We must always be vigilant to mitigate such risks." It is understood that in August, hackers stole more than $15 million worth of cryptocurrency, a 94% decrease from the $274 million stolen in July.
