 <p>According to Immunefi, due to hacking and fraud, the crypto industry suffered losses of $1.8 billion in 2023. The researchers calculated that 219 hacker attacks accounted for $1.69 billion in losses, and about $103 thousand were lost in 100 fraud cases.</p>
 <p>This year, the crypto industry has also faced a series of high-profile hacks. Thus, the first hack of a cryptocurrency platform in 2024 led to losses of tens of millions. The Orbit Chain cross-chain bridge from the South Korean company Ozys suffered due to a severe hacker attack, which resulted in losses amounting to $81.5 million in various cryptocurrencies.</p>
