Crypto hackers stole a record $3.8 billion in 2022, with the vast majority of it coming from DeFi protocols.
Decentralized finance projects, and especially cross-chain bridges, were by far the biggest victims — accounting for about 82% of that, or $3.1 billion, according to Chainalysis' 2023 Crypto Crime Report.
That is part of a trend that began in 2021 but intensified last year, the report from the blockchain intelligence firm said.
