Blackhat Crypto Hackers Stole $409M in Q3: Immunefi

According to Mitchell Amador, founder and CEO of ImmuneFi, there has been a rise in the number of incidents targeting Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms. In contrast, Centralized Finance (CeFi) platforms have experienced fewer incidents, but with more severe consequences, often resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen funds from a single exploit.

Amador’s statement highlights the growing security concerns within the cryptocurrency industry, particularly in the rapidly expanding DeFi sector. The decentralized nature of DeFi platforms makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and steal assets.

On the other hand, CeFi platforms, while more centralized, are not immune to security breaches. Despite fewer incidents, the impact of these breaches can be devastating, leading to significant financial losses for users and platform operators.

As the cryptocurrency ecosystem continues to evolve, security remains a top priority for industry participants. Implementing robust security measures and staying informed about potential threats is essential to safeguarding assets and maintaining trust in digital financial systems.
