In 2024, cryptocurrency hacks resulted in losses totaling $2.3 billion, marking a 40% increase year-over-year. The rise in incidents has been attributed to compromised private keys and inadequate key management systems, according to industry experts. Phishing scams emerged as a major threat, draining approximately $500 million from users and impacting over 332,000 addresses, reflecting a 67% surge in such attacks. Additionally, India has partnered with Google and Meta to combat 'pig butchering' scams, which accounted for $3.6 billion in losses last year. This collaboration aims to enhance security measures against fraudsters exploiting advertising platforms and phishing tactics.
