[Crypto World][So far this year, stolen crypto assets have reached $2.1 billion, with 80% due to private key vulnerabilities and front-end protocol attacks] A blockchain intelligence company stated that in the first half of 2025, losses from crypto assets due to attacks could reach $2.1 billion, most of which are caused by the leakage of crypto private keys and front-end intrusions. The company released a report on Thursday indicating that out of the 75 crypto hacker incidents that have occurred so far this year, more than 80% of the stolen funds come from so-called infrastructure attacks. These types of attacks, on average, siphon off 10 times more funds than other types of attacks. The targets of infrastructure attacks are the technical backbone of systems, with the aim of gaining unauthorized control, misleading users, or redirecting assets. They include hijacking the private key mnemonic phrases of crypto wallets or exploiting the user interface parts of crypto protocols (i.e., the front-end).
