During the month, at least 20 major hacks of crypto projects were recorded. The most affected was the UXLINK project, which lost over $44 million due to a cyberattack. In second place was the SwissBorg platform, with losses of around $41.5 million.
Among significant incidents, a user of the decentralized protocol Venus also stood out, having lost $13.5 million due to a phishing attack. However, part of the funds was recovered: out of $13.5 million, $13 million was restored, as the attackers agreed to return part of the stolen assets.
