#Crypto Hacks Hit Record $2.1 Billion in First Half of 2025


Infrastructure exploits targeting private keys and front-end protocols account for 80% of crypto losses in the first half of 2025.


TRM Labs reports 75 hacks have stolen $2.1 billion, surpassing 2022's previous record by 10%.


Infrastructure attacks average 10 times more theft than other attack vectors, exploiting foundational #cryptosystem weaknesses.


North Korea's $1.5 billion #Bybit exchange hack in February represents nearly 70% of total 2025 losses.


The massive state-sponsored attack pushed average hack size to $30 million, double 2024's $15 million average.


Protocol exploits, including flash loan and re-entrancy attacks, account for another 12% of stolen funds.


TRM Labs warns of "escalating strategic intent from state actors and geopolitically motivated groups" targeting #cryptocurrency infrastructure.
