Hackers siphoned a record $1.1 billion from cryptocurrency protocols in 212 onchain exploits during the first half of the year, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

North Korea-linked groups account for $609 million or 55% of those losses, reports<\/a> the blockchain security firm Blockaid.<\/p>\n

Ethereum and Solana protocols suffered the heaviest network-level hits at approximately $332 million and $326 million respectively.<\/p>\n

Major breaches hit KelpDAO for $292 million and Drift Protocol for $285 million, both tied to the same North Korea cluster.<\/p>\n

The firm says the attack frequency climbs sharply from 18 in January to 57 in June, with April alone seeing $635 million stolen.<\/p>\n

Zooming out, Blockaid verified more high-threshold exploits in this period than across all of 2025, signaling a sharp escalation in attacker scale and sophistication.<\/p>\n

Operational security failures such as privileged key misuse drove roughly $790 million in damages, far outpacing code vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Emerging risks include prompt injection attacks targeting AI agents and novel wallet delegation exploits that bypass traditional defenses.<\/p>\n

Some vulnerabilities allow partial fund freezes or recoveries through code mechanisms, though outcomes vary widely across cases.<\/p>\n
