In the beginning of 2023, the cryptocurrency industry has already lost around $320 million because of hacks and exploits. This was reported by Cointelegraph with reference to data collected by the analytical company CertiK. The amount of damage is not that bad – we've seen worse numbers in 2022. Back then hackers have stolen $1.3 billion in the first quarter and $950 million in the second.
According to analysts, such a low level of stolen assets may be caused by different factors that affect the Crypto World. The year of 2023 is rich in news — take, for example, the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
