This follows a significant decline from May’s record-breaking $328.6 million losses due to bridge exploits. Despite the drop in monthly losses, the second quarter of 2026 is now marked as the most hacked quarter on record, with total losses reaching approximately $775 million. The incidents in June involved 28 different protocols, highlighting ongoing security challenges within the crypto space. A notable breach linked to a North Korean operator was reported, where seven Gnosis Safe keys were compromised.
Key Takeaways
The report suggests a decrease in monthly hack losses compared to May, but June still contributed to a record-breaking quarter for crypto hacks.
Market pricing appears consistent with a significant increase in expectations for 2026’s total crypto hack value, possibly exceeding $1.2 billion.
