Gate News, March 19 — Security platform Immunefi released its latest security report showing that cryptocurrency hacking incidents continue to occur, with losses increasingly concentrated in a few major exploit events. The report analyzed 425 publicly disclosed incidents from 2021 to 2025, with an average loss of approximately $25 million per attack. Between 2024 and 2025, 191 attacks resulted in a total loss of $4.67 billion, with just five incidents accounting for 62% of the total losses. For centralized exchanges, 20 attacks caused about $2.55 billion in losses, representing approximately 55% of the total. In the token market, among 82 attacked tokens tracked in the report, the median price decline within six months after the incident was 61%, and 83.9% of the tokens remained below their pre-attack levels. Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador stated that the long-term impacts of exploitations far exceed the initial losses, often triggering continued token price declines, treasury reserves shrinking, team management turmoil, and loss of user trust.
