For the first time in the last three years, the amount that cybercriminals managed to steal per year has decreased, but the scale of cryptocurrency thefts is still impressive.

Hackers have stolen about $2 billion worth of cryptocurrency this year in dozens of cyberattacks and thefts, according to security organization De.FI.

“This amount, although spread across various incidents, highlights the ongoing vulnerabilities and challenges in the decentralized finance ecosystem. The year 2023 was a testament to both current vulnerabilities and the successes achieved in eliminating them,” De.Fi representatives noted in their report, writes
