 <p>The crypto industry lost $1.2 billion to hacks and rug pulls in the first eights months via 211 incidents, says a new report.</p> 
 <p><span class="s1">Hacks accounted for a substantial 67.7% of the losses, while fraud was responsible for the remaining 32.3%, said the report by <span class="s2">Immunefi,</span></span><span class="s1">&nbsp;which calls itself a bug bounty platform for Web 3 and smart contract security.</span></p> 
 <h3 id="crypto-losses-reached-23-million-in-august">Crypto Losses Reached $23 Million in August</h3> 
 <p><span class="s1">August saw losses of more than $23 million, significantly down on more than $320 million in July, the report said. Hacks continued to be the predominant cause of losses in August, accounting for almost $16 million, it said. Fraud accounted for the remainder </span><span class="s1">across four incidents.&nbsp;</span></p> 
 <p>Since its launch in early August, Coinbase-backed Base protocol has witnessed losses across four projects, sharing the top slots among targeted chains with Ethereum and BNB Chain, the report said.</p> 
 <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Ethereum took the hardest hits, experiencing five separate incidents that made up 24% of the total losses among these targeted chains. Meanwhile, Base and BNB Chain each encountered four incidents, contributing to 19% of the losses individually.</span></p> 
 <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Ethereum, Base, and BNB Chain collectively represented over half of the losses in August.&nbsp; Arbitrum, <span class="s2">Solana</span>, and Avalanche experienced one incident each, contributing 4.8% each to the total losses.</span></p> 
 <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Other chains, including Fantom and Linea, represented 14.3% of the total chain incidents, each with a single incident to their name.</span></p> 
 <p>All the losses in August came via 17 incidents against decentralized finance (Defi) platforms while Centralized Finance (CeFi) platforms held strong, the report said.</p>

 <p class="p2"><span class="s1">In a separate incident, the interchain stablecoin protocol <span class="s2">Harbor was also attacked</span>. This resulted in losses from its stablecoin creation and various vaults that held stOSMO, LUNA, and WMATIC.&nbsp;</span></p> 
 <p class="p2"><span class="s1">The exact amount stolen is still unknown, and Harbor is actively trying to track the stolen funds and assess the full extent of the losses.&nbsp;</span></p>
