Crypto seed phrase, front-end hacks drive record losses in 2025: TRM Labs
Crypto private key exploits and front-end protocol attacks account for 80% of the $2.1 billion worth of crypto that has been stolen so far this year, TRM Labs reports.
Crypto private key exploits and front-end compromises have accounted for most of the $2.1 billion worth of crypto lost to attacks in the first half of 2025, says blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs.
Over 80% of crypto stolen across 75 hacks so far this year was taken in so-called infrastructure exploits, which, on average, made off with 10 times more than other attack types, TRM Labs said in a report on Thursday.
Infrastructure attacks target the technical backbone of a system to gain unauthorized control, mislead users, or reroute assets.
