The post Crypto Hacks in 2024: Centralized Exchanges Are Now the Top Targets for Cybercriminals appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The 2024 Chainalysis Crypto Crime Report underscores a troubling reality: The crypto loss growth was significantly marginal with the total amount lost to crypto hacks reaching $2.2 billion, 21% higher than in 2023. 303 cases of crypto theft were noticed in 2024 while there were fewer of 282 cases in 2023. This is the fifth consecutive year where the crypto theft figure has exceeded $1 billion, which simply highlights the dangers of embracing crypto assets as they become mainstream. The Reason Why North Korea Dominates the Cybercrime World More specifically, North Korean hackers contributed to $ 1.34 billion of the total simulated funds that were stolen within forty-seven attacks, more than double the $660.5 million stolen in 2023. These exploits which constituted 61% of all the thefts show that Pyongyang has developed sophisticated cyber techniques to finance state activities such as weapon development. However, from July 2024 North Korea’s activity reduced by 53.7 %, probably due to geopolitical factors such as the Putin Kim Jong Un Summit Meet. A Shift in Hacker Targets and Gradual Change in Their Ways One could also notice the change of targets in 2024. The decentralized finance platforms majorly led earlier years, while this year, the centralized services rose to the trends in Q2 and Q3. Some of them were the $305 million DMM Bitcoin exchange attack in Japan and India’s WazirX which was attacked for $234.9 million . The lack of proper management of private keys, which made up 43.8% of stolen funds, was a commonly used tactic by hackers. Money laundering also became more sophisticated when more hackers started using bridges and mixing services to cover their tracks. For instance, while extorting DMM Bitcoin, cybercriminals used mixers and multiple intermediate accounts before the money reached inconspicuous markets. Strengthening Crypto Security To progress, the current crypto industry has to enhance security approaches, increase private key security, and engage with both the government and private players. Amid evolving rules and oversight, protection of customer’s assets and sound operation of the digital marketplace will continue to be critical to maintaining confidence in Crypto world. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

El Salvador has improved its national Bitcoin reserve by adding 11 Bitcoins for $1 million. The latest investment means that the country holds a total of 5,980 Bitcoins. The purchase comes only a few days after the country acquired a $1.4 billion development loan from the IMF. To secure the IMF deal, the country agreed to slow down on some of its crypto policies, especially the one targeting its digital wallet, Chivo. El Salvador agreed to retire or sell its digital wallet. El Salvador has been making huge gains in the reserve’s value. The Nayib Bukele portfolio tracker , which has been monitoring Bitcoin purchases, reports unrealized gains of over $125 million. This is almost 91.54% growth in reserve value. According to the tracker, the reserve is making high profits on purchases made during bear markets, when prices were as low as $19,000. El Salvador walks the talk as they continue to buy Bitcoins Although people thought the IMF agreement would slow down the country’s quest for BTC, it won’t. El Salvador had clarified that it would keep buying and holding Bitcoin. El Salvador’s national Bitcoin office director, Stacy Herbert, wrote on X that Bitcoin would remain legal tender in the Central American country and that the government would keep adding to its strategic reserves. Earlier, Eugene Epstein, the head of trading and structured products for North America at Moneycorp in New Jersey, felt El Salvador’s announcement was a PR gimmick. He said the announcement might have been a way to counter negative throwback, but now that they are buying, it means that cryptocurrency has become their way. Did the IMF intend to control the El Salvador BTC model? There was much speculation when El Salvador agreed to amend its crypto policies. Some even felt that the IMF was arm-twisting Salvador for the development loan they requested. Yet, the latest development is a testament that El Salvador’s journey to accumulate Bitcoin is in progress. Most people are worried about the risks associated with BTC and feel it’s a huge gamble for governments to adopt crypto as a legal tender. However, crypto enthusiasts have been encouraging the adoption , insisting that the reward outweighs risks by far. Land a High-Paying Web3 Job in 90 Days: The Ultimate Roadmap
Bitcoin’s price actions in the past few days have been nothing short of a substantial correction that pushed it south by around thirteen grand. It seems Powell’s comments made during the latest FOMC meeting have scared US investors as they pulled over $670 million from the spot Bitcoin ETFs within just a day. Red Record After slashing the key interest rates by another 25 basis points, Fed Chair Powell warned that 2025 might not see as many reductions due to the alarming numbers on the inflation front. To make things worse for BTC and the altcoins, he added that the central bank is not allowed to buy and store bitcoin for itself, which contrasts with one of Donald Trump’s many pro-crypto promises . The effects were immediate as the primary cryptocurrency’s price tumbled from over $105,000 to $98,000 immediately on Wednesday evening. After jumping to almost $103,000 on Thursday, the bears resumed control of the market and pushed it south to a multi-day low of under $96,000, leaving over a billion in liquidations. This came during the US trading hours. Data from FarSide indicates that US investors indeed got scared for their allocations into riskier assets like BTC and started to pull funds out of the Bitcoin ETFs. In fact, December 19 turned out to be the worst day in terms of daily outflows in the ETFs’ nearly year-long history. $671.9 million was withdrawn from the financial vehicles in total, with Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s BTC leading the pack – $208.5 and $188.6 million, respectively. Even BlackRock’s IBIT, which continues to shatter records , couldn’t attract any fresh funding but at least didn’t see any major withdrawals, ending the day at $0.0. Ethereum ETFs in Red, Too The spot Ethereum ETFs were on a roll for nearly a month, as they didn’t see a single net outflow day since November 21. However, the landscape around them changed as well, with investors pulling $60.5 million. Although the amount is more than 10 times lower than that of the Bitcoin ETFs, ETH’s price wasn’t spared. The asset is down by over 9% in the past day and struggles at $3,350 after its latest rejection at $4,000.
