EXPLOITS HACKS

The 10 worst crypto hacks and exploits of 2024

In 2024, cryptocurrency hacks resulted in nearly $2.2 billion stolen — an increase of more than 22% from the $1.8 billion in 2023. Notable hacks targeted centralized exchanges such as DMM Bitcoin, WazirX and BingX, and DeFi protocol designs continued to be exploited. State-sponsored attacks, like those attributed to the Lazarus Group, were also reported. The largest hack was against DMM Bitcoin, which lost over $300 million due to potential vulnerabilities like stolen private keys.
