Cryptographic investors lost around $ 2 billion per hacks in the first half of the year, with the first quarter, only exceeding all losses of 2024, according to a Hacken security firm report.
The most intriguing finding was that multisignaturas wallets, which require several people to sign a transaction before executing it, frequently pledged due to the manipulation of the user interface and the poor management of the signer.
The infamous pirate of the first quarter of centralized exchange bybit resulted in a violation of $ 1.46 billion when a compromised security wall interface deceived the authorized signatories.
It was the third consecutive quarter in which the largest trick originated from Multisig failures.
The first half also saw $ 300 million in carpet pulls. Phishing and Social Engineering campaigns also contributed largely, which attributed almost $ 100 million. The vulnerabilities of intelligent contracts were insignificant, which represents less than 2% of the total losses.
Access control problems remain the dominant issue, responsible for more than 80% of each dollar stolen this year.
Hachen urged a change in reactive audit to real -time operational defenses. Its report recommends the use of monitoring systems with AI that continuously validate multisig transactions, detect deviations in the activity of the signer and activate automated safeguards.
It also recommends that CEFI and DEFI projects deal with signatories, multisig frontal and human workflows such as critical safety infrastructure, reinforcing them with narrower automation, training and governance.
