Security platform Immunefi’s latest report shows that the crypto industry faced a record 207 hacking incidents in the first half of 2026, but total losses fell to $972 million, below the $1 billion threshold. Notably, losses from DeFi protocol exploits dropped 74% from the 2022 peak, reflecting overall improvement in industry security levels.

Event Overview

According to TheBlock, despite record-high attack counts, the average loss per incident decreased significantly. This indicates that while attackers are more active, large-scale catastrophic exploit incidents have decreased. The proliferation of security audits, bug bounty programs, and insurance mechanisms is proving effective.

The report notes that cross-chain bridges and oracles remain primary attack targets, but related protocols have strengthened security measures. Meanwhile, attacks in traditional finance sectors (such as banking system intrusions) have increased in proportion, showing attackers are seeking new breakthrough points.

Panoramic Perspective

The crypto security situation shows a “high-frequency, low-loss” characteristic, indicating progress in preventing major risks. However, the continued growth in attack counts reminds project teams not to let their guard down. In the future, automated security monitoring and real-time response mechanisms will become standard.
