Crypto hackers stole around $1.7 billion in 2023
Cyber attacks have been a persistent challenge for the crypto industry, and widespread hacking is one of the reasons why most regulators around the world frown upon crypto. Though stolen funds more than halved, the number of individual hacking incidents grew to 231 last year from 219 in 2022, Chainalysis said. North Korea has previously denied allegations of hacking or other cyber attacks.
