Crypto investors have lost about $ 2 billion due to pirates in the first half, the first quarter, exceeding all the losses of 2024, according to a report by the security company Hacken.
The most intriguing observation was that the multisignure portfolios, which require that several people sign a transaction before its execution have been frequently compromised due to the falsification of the user interface and the mismanagement of signatories.
The infamous hacking of the first quarter of centralized scholarships led to a violation of $ 1.46 billion when a compromise interface of the security portfolio deceived the authorized signatories.
It was the third consecutive quarter in which the largest hacking is from multisig failures.
The first half also saw $ 300 million in shooting. Phishing and social engineering campaigns have also contributed strongly, protruding nearly $ 100 million. The vulnerabilities of intelligent contracts were negligible, representing less than 2% of total losses.
Access control problems remain the dominant theme, responsible for more than 80% of each dollar stolen this year.
Hacken has urged a passage from the reactive audit to real -time operational defenses. Its report recommends the use of surveillance systems supplied by the AI which continuously validates multisig transactions, detect the differences in the activity of the signatories and trigger automated guarantees.
He also recommends that CEFI and DEFI projects treat signatories, multisig fronts and human workflows such as a critical safety infrastructure, strengthening them with more strict automation, training and governance.
