Last May, the cryptocurrency community suffered massive losses to hackers, resulting in the largest losses recorded to date in 2024. Hackers pocketed $385 million in May, highlighting the sophistication of this malware, according to a report from blockchain security firm Peckshield. The ongoing need for effective security measures by actors and the digital asset industry.

Cryptocurrency losses increase 666% in May – Peckshield

According to a report by Peckshield, the cryptocurrency industry saw approximately 30 hacking cases in May 2024.

Among these incidents, a May 31 attack on Japanese cryptocurrency exchange DMM Bitcoin resulted in the loss of 4,500 bitcoins worth $305 million. The heist was the largest hack this month and so far in 2024. It was also the second-largest cryptocurrency hack in Japan, following the $533 million Coincheck theft in 2018.

#PeckShieldAlert In May 2024, up to 30 hacks occurred in the cryptocurrency space, resulting in losses of up to $574.6 million and hackers’ profits reaching up to $385 million. This is an increase of approximately 666% compared to April 2024.#Top 5 hacking:

Another major hack involved cryptocurrency gaming project Gala Games, which suffered a severe network breach on May 20th. In this project, malicious actors were able to mint 5 billion GALA tokens, worth approximately $212 million. However, through quick security measures, Gala’s development team was able to reduce the loss to approximately $22.4 million.

Other major hacks in May included account breaches of DeFi protocol Sonne Finance and Coinbase, resulting in the loss of $20 million and $18 million worth of assets, respectively. A total of $575 million was stolen by hackers, but following Gala Games’ impressive recovery, malicious actors only made $385 million in profits.

Compared to April, when total losses were $60 million, the numbers reported in May represent a remarkable 666% increase in assets stolen by attackers. Even more impressively, this figure represents a 2,300% increase compared to the loss of $14.6 million in May 2023.

Undoubtedly, the rapid increase in hacking incidents and asset losses means there will be a continued need for stronger security measures in the digital asset space, especially as new industries strive for mainstream adoption in the global financial scene.
