Crypto hackers are poised for a lucrative year, that could potentially surpass the amount of stolen digital assets from last year.


In the first quarter of 2024, hackers stole digital assets valued at $542.7 million, a 42% increase compared to the same period in 2023 — but smart contracts are not to blame.


Hacked funds lost to smart contract vulnerabilities fell 92% to $179 million in 2023, down from a staggering $2.6 billion in 2022, according to Merkle Science’s “2024 Crypto HackHub Report” report.

“The biggest security concern right now is the rapid increase in losses due to private key leaks,” Mriganka Pattnaik, co-founder and CEO of crypto risk and intelligence platform Merkle Science, told Cointelegraph.


The total volume of stolen crypto funds in 2024 is approaching $1.4 billion as centralized exchanges emerge as the new ground zero for exploits, according to cybersecurity firm Cyvers’ mid-year Web3 security report.
