Crypto Hacks Hit Record Highs as Billions at Risk in 2026

A record number of crypto hacks has been reported in 2026, with billions at risk, according to the Blockaid Report. This surge in cyberattacks on cryptocurrency exchanges and wallets highlights the growing threat to digital assets.

The report also notes that several high-profile cases have made headlines recently, including a $13 million hack of Russian exchange Grinex. In another incident, President Ruto's website in Kenya was temporarily defaced after a ransom demand of 5 Bitcoin was made.

In a positive development, SecondFi, a wallet affected by a June cyberattack, has partnered with the Cardano Foundation to return $16.1 million worth of stolen ADA tokens to its users.
