<p>The evening of July 27 sent the crypto community into shockwaves when another crypto hack news came in.

<p>According to the team, only a few major accounts are impacted. The nature of this attack is still unknown. This has not affected the trading of their native token CSPR on the exchanges.</p> 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-fear-in-crypto-community">Fear in Crypto Community</h1> 
<p>The one after another crypto hacks are spreading fear among crypto communities. Just last week one of the biggest crypto exchanges of India, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/wazirx-hack-shib-fet-matic-among-impacted-assets-in-230-million/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wazirx was hacked</a> and around 45% of the crypto funds were stolen. They are still working to identify and recover the lost funds, while the operations on crypto exchange are halted.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In another hack, the lending protocol of Scroll Network the hackers were able to access around $7.6 Million worth of token.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-looking-ahead">Looking ahead</h2> 
<p>These hacks clearly raise major concerns about the safety of investors’ funds. How are these hackers able to break into the wallets or the networks? Sometimes, it’s the faulty smart contracts, other times it’s the phishing applications. No matter what these projects say, one question remains unanswered, Can crypto projects become unhackable like the blockchain?</p>
