LATEST CRYPTO HACKS

Let's explore the latest crypto security incidents and how they're shaping the ecosystem. This overview highlights recent hacks across major platforms like Humanity Protocol and Ostium, covering attack types, funds stolen, affected chains, and recovery outcomes.

As of July 2026, more than $1.32B has been stolen across 224+ incidents in H1 2026 alone, making it the most-hacked half-year on record by incident count, even as total dollar losses trail 2025's $3.4B (inflated by the single $1.5B Bybit hack). Notably, just two exploits - KelpDAO ($292M) and Drift Protocol ($285M), both in April, account for nearly 44% of H1 losses. The trend has continued into Q3: wallet/key compromises and oracle manipulation (not smart contract bugs) now drive the costliest attacks, as seen in July's wave hitting Ostium, BonkDAO, and Bonzo Lend.
