The REKT incident lost about 80.42 million US dollars, accounting for 10.78%, and the RugPull incident lost about 4.61 million US dollars, accounting for 0.62%.

On August 19, a potential victim lost 4,064 BTC, worth about $238 million, in a suspected phishing attack. After being stolen, the huge amount of funds was quickly transferred through multiple platforms such as ThorChain, eXch, Kucoin, ChangeNow, Railgun, and Avalanche Bridge.

In addition, the loss due to private key leakage is about 268 million US dollars, accounting for 36.06%. OKLink reminds users to raise their awareness of security precautions and not to trust any unverified signature requests, especially when authorizing "Permit" or involving fund transfers, be sure to verify the authenticity of the signature. It is recommended to regularly check and revoke contract authorizations that are no longer in use to prevent malicious contract abuse. At the same time, keep your private key and mnemonic phrase properly, do not disclose it to anyone, and do not save it through screenshots or store it on unsafe devices. Security awareness is your most powerful shield in the Web3 world. [Original link]
