While several of the major hacks happened in June 2024, the loss from these hacks resulted in sums exceeding $176.2 million. According to the data shared by <a href="https://x.com/PeckShieldAlert/status/1807662261148029227" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PeckShield Alerts</a>, up to now, these losses took place over 20 different hacks on both DeFi and CeFi platforms. Comparatively in the month of May, online criminals earned approximately $385 million, which brings down Junes’s losses to 54. 2% less than what they made in May 2024.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-decrease-in-hacking-profitability-can-be-attributed-to-several-factors">The decrease in hacking profitability can be attributed to several factors:</h2>
Enhanced security measures:&nbsp;
Most of the trading platforms in the area of cryptos have remained keen on implementing higher degrees of security like Multi-Factor Authentication, better encryption, and auditing.

Regulatory scrutiny:&nbsp;
The authorities and regulators in many countries have increased the attention toward cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms. Legal requirements and regulatory policies, and actions to counteract and apprehend the bad actors have mitigated crypto asset-related incidents.&nbsp;
Blockchain innovations:&nbsp;
As for the development of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/beginners-guide/what-is-blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a> generations based on intelligent contracts technology, new generations of smart contracts have better code than previous ones, at the same time, decentralized governance solutions improve DeFi platforms against potential attacks.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-among-the-prominent-breaches-of-june-2024">Among the prominent breaches of June 2024:</h2>
1. Btctruk: The story of the highest loss of $100.25 million from Btctruk,&nbsp; a Centralized finance (CeFi) platform., which indicates the weaknesses of traditional methods of financial integration with cryptocurrencies.
2. Lykke: As for another CeFi platform, Lykke, it also experienced leakage and lost $22 million altogether indicating that the issues with the secure development of the centralized exchanges are still present.
3. UwULend: The decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, UwULend fell victim to a breach that saw $19.4 million, and also an extra $3. 75 million stolen in arbitrage attacks.
