Hackers Stole $1.49 Billion in Cryptocurrency to Date in 2024
Nearly $1.49 billion in cryptocurrency losses have been registered to date in 2024, mainly due to hacking incidents, a new report from web3 bug bounty platform Immunefi shows.
The total year-to-date losses have dropped compared to last year, when they surpassed $1.75 billion during the period, and were mainly driven by losses of over $359 million in May and of more than $282 million in July.
In November, cryptocurrency losses surpassed $71 million, mainly due to hacks ($70,996,200), with only a small percentage lost to rug pulls ($25,300). Total losses were 79% lower compared to November 2023, when they exceeded $343 million.
