$3.4B Lost in 2025: Why Simple Mistakes Still Cost Millions

[encrypted]

Crypto hacks and scams totaled $3.4 billion in losses in 2025, the worst year since 2022. What’s more alarming? Nearly 70% of that damage came from just three incidents, including this $50M address poisoning case and the massive Bybit breach.

These aren’t just technical failures — they’re behavioral ones. Address poisoning, multisig takeovers, and social engineering all exploit routine actions users perform every day.

As attackers get smarter, the weakest link remains unchanged: human habit. In today’s crypto landscape, slowing down might be the most powerful security tool you have.
