Svmuu News: According to an Immunefi report, crypto projects suffered cumulative losses of approximately $972 million in the first half of 2026 due to 207 hacking incidents. While the number of attacks reached a record high, total losses remained below $1 billion and were less than half the scale of losses in the first half of 2025. The report notes that attack losses in the DeFi sector have fallen by 74% from the 2022 peak of $2.62 billion, dropping to approximately $680.3 million, while the median loss per incident decreased by 75% over the same period. Furthermore, the sources of risk are shifting from purely smart contract vulnerabilities to infrastructure failures, private key leaks, cross-chain configuration errors, and weaknesses in privileged access.
