Crypto and hacking incidents
Crypto platforms remain a common target for hackers to carry out attacks because, unfortunately, it is still easy for them to run away with stolen funds anonymously, thanks to crypto mixing platforms.
In November this year, hackers stole almost $300 million worth of cryptocurrencies from this sector, which is a very large amount of hacking funds in any month of this year.
Hackers mainly targeted the crypto exchanges and projects of popular crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun. Some people claimed that hacking attacks were personal.
So far, more than 12 years have passed for the crypto companies, yet the majority of the crypto platforms are vulnerable, but thanks to the talents who keep working to fight the vulnerability to save themselves from hackers.
