Despite the ongoing cybersecurity efforts in the encryption industry, protocols are involved in an endless war with cryptocurrencies, who continue to attack the weakest in encryption protocols, which are often a human behavioral element.
Industry is involved in an unfair war with bad actors, who only need one point Exploiting a protocolAccording to Rongwi Go, Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University and co -founder of Blockchain Certik.
“As long as there is a weak point or some weaknesses there, it will be discovered sooner or later by these attackers,” said Go, speaking during the “Daily Reaction” series in the “Daily Reaction” series. DisplayAdding:
“It is an endless war.”
“But I am afraid of that next year [hacks] “It will remain a million dollars,” GU said, adding that both cyber security efforts and electronic criminals have become stronger. However, attackers do not need to find a single mistake in millions of daily instruction lines by CERTIK.

Curricula losses and exploits outperforms $ 2.47 billion The first half of 2025, despite the decrease in breakthroughs in the second quarter. More than 800 million dollars were lost through 144 accidents in the second quarter, a decrease of 52 % in the lost value comparison To the previous quarter, with 59 fewer piracy accidents, CERTIK He said In a report on Tuesday.
The first half of 2025 witnessed more than $ 2.47 billion of losses Because of breakthroughs, fraud and exploitsAn increase of approximately 3 % more than $ 2.4 billion stolen in 2024.
The lion’s share of the lost value is attributed to one incident, a 1.4 billion dollars Beet penetration On February 21, on the occasion of the largest Cyberexploit in the date of encryption.

The Blockchain security improvements will be forced to target human behavior
The advanced cyber security measures in this industry force the infiltrators to search for new weaknesses to exploit, including gaps in human psychology, according to Certik’s Gu, which explained:
“Let’s say that a protocol or 1 Blockchain layer becomes safer. Then they may target humans behind. People who have a private key and so on.”
During the year 2024, about half of the security incidents were caused by the encryption industry due to “operational risks” such as the main special settlements, the Gu added.
The infiltrators are increasingly targeting weak links in human behavior, as the renewed wave of this year has shown this year Crossed client currenciesAnd they are social engineering plans in which attackers share fraudulent links to steal sensitive information for victims, such as the special keys to the coded currency governor.
On August 6, an investor lost $ 3 million with One wrong click, after accidentally signing the harmful Blockchain treatment that has been drained at a value of $ 3 million from US (USDTFrom his wallet.
Like most investors, the victim is likely to be the authenticity of the wallet title by matching the first and last few characters before transferring 3 million dollars to the harmful actor. The difference was noticeable in the middle characters, and it is often hidden on the platforms to improve the visual appeal.
Another victim has lost more than $ 900,000 from digital assets to A. An advanced hunting attack On August 3, 458 days after the improper malicious approval treatment treatment treatment treatment is signed for the fraud.
