 <p class="is-style-lead">Several high-profile <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> hacks and scams in November make it the most financially damaging month of the year.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>According to CertiK’s data, November was the most financially destructive period of the year, with <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="losses" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/losses.html">losses</a> mounting to approximately $363 million due to a series of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> exploits, hacks and scams. Exit scams contributed to the month’s toll, with about $1.1 million lost as projects vanished along with investors’ funds, eroding trust in burgeoning platforms and new coin offerings. These scams often involve the creators of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> platforms or currencies absconding with users’ deposits, leaving investors with worthless assets.</p>

 <p>The most significant share of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="losses" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/losses.html">losses</a>, however, came from exploits totaling approximately $316.4 million. The Poloniex and HTX hack alone saw over $250 million in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="losses" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/losses.html">losses</a>. The flash loan attack on decentralized finance (defi) exchange KyberSwap saw a $47 million loss. The sophisticated attacks exploit the lending mechanisms of defi platforms, allowing attackers to manipulate market prices and drain funds.</p>
 <p>The surge of attacks and scams in November can be attributed to the recent positive strides in the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> market. With daily trading volume and transactions increasing after a prolonged <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> winter, hackers are actively on the lookout for new vulnerabilities. November’s staggering statistics is a caution for platforms and users heading into the new year.&nbsp;</p>
