In the first three months of this year, The encryption of the ecological system has lost more than $ 1.6 billion for infiltratorsOne The value that already exceeds the total losses in the ecosystem throughout the year 2024. Last year, the Hacker’s activity made it 1.49 billion dollars from these platforms.
size The money converted by the weaknesses that were discovered and exploited by the infiltrators grew in the 390 % quarter. There was no transfer of funds associated with fraud positions, which between January and March last year represented losses of $ 14.7 million.
Data collected by IMMUNEFI As they appear 95 % of these losses occurred on the central financial platforms (CEFI). This is one of the two models in which the operation of the ecosystem of encrypted transactions is based. It indicates the operating models Organized by some entity, such as exchanges And online brokers, who are mediated by transactions by millions of customers all over the world. the Another model is Defi – decentralized financingBlockchains depends on digital contracts.
Data show that this Asset deviations on CEFI platforms mainly produce two major attacks in the period under analysisBybit, which arose losses of $ 1.46 billion and PhenEx, which led to losses of $ 69 million. Together, the two attacks were the logo of more than 90 % of all quarter losses.

us The origin of these two attacks is suspected. Analysis of the permissible events to discover indicators on the group’s communications in the back movements
Imamunei confirms Increase the impact of these organized groups To carry out huge attacks, who saw each other Especially for CEFI platformsIn order to double the return of every exploited failure.
On these platforms “Access to a special key can be given full control over all associated funds. “Since the exchanges generate large amounts of capital, a small violation can lead to hundreds of millions of losses,” says Imamunefi. Weak points in smart contracts can only allow partial or conditional access“.
With calculated numbers, it is confirmed that The first quarter of the year was “the worst quarter for breach in the history of the ecosystem of the ecosarosis”The technology responsible for the report assumes Cross losses in Q1 2025. The vast majority of lost money went to infiltrators, who are successful in their efforts to violate the safety of platforms
OS Defi (Defi) had to deal with 6 % of the exploits It was developed during this period. The most affected networks were the BNB and ETHEREUM series. I faced the first 19 attacks and the second 15.
Of all the stolen value, $ 6.5 million has been recoveredIn reference to two specific cases, only 0.4 % of the losses recorded in this period. Consequently, another exacerbated index, as in the same period last year, was recovered 21.2 % of the stolen money.
It is interesting, and The total number of attacks decreased by 36 % from 63 to 40That had no effect on the size of the losses, the exact opposite.
IMamunei is one of the main safety platforms for Web3. According to official figures, their solutions protect $ 190 billion from user wallpapers. The company says that During the first quarter, he analyzed all the cases in which the Blacks of Blacks explored many encryption protocols It is 40 of these cases, including attempts to successful, semi -combined computer piracy and alleged fraud.
