In November 2024, the cryptocurrency exchange XT.com suffered a significant security breach, resulting in the theft of approximately $1.7 million. The attack is believed to have been facilitated by a compromised private key, a common vulnerability in centralized exchanges. This incident is part of a broader trend in the crypto ecosystem, which has seen $71 million stolen in November alone and a total of $1.48 billion in thefts throughout the year. The increasing frequency of social engineering attacks targeting Web3 users highlights the need for greater awareness and security measures to protect assets and personal information in the evolving blockchain landscape.
