The blockchain intelligence firm says total losses from crypto fraud, thefts, and hack attacks stood at $1.8 billion for the first 10 months of 2020. That’s substantially less than the $4.5 billion seen over the whole of last year. Alas, it’s a little too early to proclaim that the digital assets industry has turned a corner. CipherTrace’s data also shows that half of all crypto hacks this year have targeted DeFi protocols and exchanges—a stark contrast to 2019, when attacks on decentralized finance platforms were “virtually negligible.”
