According to @PeckShieldAlert, December 2025 saw approximately 26 major crypto exploits with total losses of about $76 million. According to @PeckShieldAlert, this represents a decline of more than 60% from November's $194.27 million, marking a sharp month-over-month reduction in exploit-driven losses. According to @PeckShieldAlert, a single wallet labeled 0xcB80...819 accounted for $50 million of the December losses.

According to @PeckShieldAlert, October 2025 recorded about 15 major crypto exploits with total losses of $18.18M, an 85.7% decrease from September’s $127.06M (source: PeckShieldAlert, Nov 1, 2025). The Oct. 10 crypto crash led to over $20B in leveraged liquidations within hours, marking the largest liquidation event in the industry’s history (source: PeckShieldAlert). The top three incidents were Garden Finance at $11M, Typus Finance at $3.4M, and MIM Spell at $1.8M (source: PeckShieldAlert).

According to PeckShieldAlert, approximately 20 major crypto hacks occurred in May 2025, leading to total losses of $244.1 million, which is a 39.29% decrease compared to April. Notably, Cetus Protocol and SUI successfully froze $157 million in stolen assets, representing a 71% recovery from the $220 million theft. This significant recovery rate may bolster investor confidence in DeFi security protocols and could impact trading sentiment positively for projects demonstrating robust security responses (source: PeckShieldAlert, June 1, 2025).
