The number of crypto hacking incidents reached 83 in the second quarter of 2026, setting a new record high
Svmuu News: According to DefiLlama data, the second quarter of 2026 has become the most active period for crypto hacks on record, with a total of 83 distinct attack incidents—a new all-time high. Despite the rise in attack frequency, total losses for the quarter amounted to approximately $755.3 million, which is still lower than the $3.56 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. Of this total, the $293 million attack on KelpDAO and the $280 million attack on Drift Protocol accounted for more than three-quarters of the quarter’s total losses. Cross-chain bridges were the source of the largest losses, with related attacks resulting in approximately $351 million being stolen. Earlier this month, Humanity Protocol lost $36 million; Aztec Connect’s passive smart contracts were targeted in two separate attacks, each resulting in a loss of approximately $2.1 million; and the decentralized exchange Raydium suffered a $1.3 million attack in June.
