$136M in Crypto Security Losses in August Highlight Ongoing Infrastructure Risk

Crypto security losses reached $136 million across 50 incidents in August, according to PeckShieldAlert data.

This figure highlights that market recoveries do not erase infrastructure risk. Despite price increases and improved liquidity, attackers continue to target smart contracts, wallets, bridges, exchanges, and individual users.

The number of security incidents is a reminder that even when prices rise, attackers remain active in the crypto space.
