Blockchain security company PeckShield has released its annual report outlining losses caused by hacks and fraud in the cryptocurrency space in 2023. This report presents both warning and encouraging statistics about the state of cryptocurrency security.

significant loss reduction

In 2023, the cryptocurrency ecosystem saw a noticeable decrease in losses due to hacking and fraud. Excluding losses related to multichain activities, total losses amount to approximately $2.61 billion, according to data from PeckShield. This figure represents a 27.78% decrease from the previous year, when global cyber theft amounted to approximately $3.6 billion.

impressive recovery effort

One of the report’s most notable findings was the successful recovery of stolen funds. PeckShield highlighted that more than $674 million was successfully recovered from more than 600 large-scale hacks the company tracked throughout the year. This recovery represents 25% of the stolen cryptocurrency, a significant increase compared to the previous year’s estimate of approximately $133 million.

Active negotiations and bug bounty program

The increase in recovered funds may be due to more active negotiations with hackers and the increased prevalence of bug bounty programs within the cryptocurrency community. PeckShield’s security team emphasized the importance of actively engaging in discussions with hackers to facilitate the return of stolen assets. Additionally, implementing bug bounty programs and conducting on-chain investigations to identify hackers and vulnerabilities have proven effective in strengthening overall security.

Collaborating to Recover Funds

PeckShield also emphasized the importance of collaboration in the cryptocurrency space. Working closely with central exchanges, Tether, and law enforcement to freeze funds whenever suspicious activity is detected has been pivotal in recovering stolen assets.

Flash loan attacks and DeFi vulnerabilities

The report examines various aspects of cryptocurrency security, including the proliferation of flash loan attacks. Flash loan attacks accounted for 40% of hacks in 2023, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures in the DeFi sector.

DeFi remains a key goal.

While some argue that improvements in DeFi security have led to a decline in cryptocurrency theft, DeFi remains a prime target for hackers and fraudsters, according to a report from PeckShield. In 2023, a significant portion (67%) of losses occurred within the DeFi space, with 33% associated with centralized financial platforms. Hacking accounted for 58% of total losses, while fraud accounted for the remaining 42%.

Target diversification

The report also highlights the diversification of cryptocurrency assets being targeted by malicious actors. In the past, Bitcoin dominated illicit trading volume from 2018 to 2021. But that changes in 2022 and 2023 as stablecoins begin to account for a larger share of illicit trading volume.

PeckShield’s annual report highlights the evolving cryptocurrency security landscape and emphasizes the importance of proactiveness, collaboration, and enhanced security practices in protecting digital assets.

#PeckShieldAlert In 2023, there were more than 600 major hacks in the cryptocurrency space, resulting in approximately $2.61 billion in losses and $674.9 million recovered.
