<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="decrease-in-hacks-from-may-to-june">Decrease in Hacks from May to June</h2>
<p>April’s $176.2 million is minuscule compared to the $564.6 million snatched in May. This drastic decline showed how incredibly volatile the crypto-platform hacking threat environment could be. In January this year, only 60.19 million dollars in hacks has been registered.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="total-losses-in-2024-exceed-1-5-billion">Total Losses in 2024 Exceed $1.5 Billion</h2>
<p>The blockchain security company alone reported that the sum of money crypto startups had lost to them has grown to a level that touches the barrier $1.5 billion. This substantially high figure has served as an example underlining the unwanted weak point Cyber threat in the <a href="https://btc-pulse.com/china-could-restore-mining-4-billion-at-stake/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a>.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="largest-hacks-in-june-btcturk-and-lykke">Largest Hacks in June: BtcTurk and Lykke</h2>
<p>It has been recognized that the biggest demarche that took place during June took away the Turkish trading place BtcTurk by a sum equal to $100.25 million. A June report stated that the company had its hot wallets compromised and that let the intruders who took at least 10 cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p>Also, the second-largest hack that happened last month happened in Britain, specifically in the digital money exchange Lykke which them received a sum of $22 million. These dangerous <a href="https://btc-pulse.com/lido-and-rocket-pool-tokens-tank-after-sec-consensys/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">security </a>vulnerabilities make it indispensable to ramp up the security standards across the crypto exchange sites.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="other-notable-hacks-in-june">Other Notable Hacks in June</h2>
<p>As well as BtcTurk and Lykke, there were several other losses. Together with UwU Lend, and Holograph, who ended up in the top five, Velocore was the next victim of hackers, with $19.4 million, $14.4 million, and $6.8 million each month lost in June, respectively.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="q2-losses-and-historical-data">Q2 Losses and Historical Data</h2>

Out of the seventy-two cheating cases that transpired in the last three months, we are already in the second quarter. Crystal Intelligence’s findings on the crypto industry show that nearly $20 billion were feared to be lost by hacks and scams between 2011 and March 2024.
