Crypto currency thefts have doubled in the first half of 2024 compared to last year, Khaama Press reported yesterday citing TRM Labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the report, hackers stole over $1.38 billion worth of crypto by June, exceeding the $657 million stolen during the same period in 2023. This surge is likely fueled by the rise in cryptocurrency prices, with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report also found cybercriminals are targeting bigger scores, with the median amount stolen per attack increasing significantly. A major attack on a Japanese exchange stealing $308 million in Bitcoin exemplifies the vulnerability of crypto companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
