Crypto & hacking incidents
Crypto platforms remain a common target for hackers to conduct attacks because it remains easy for them to run away with stolen money anonymously, unfortunately, thanks to crypto-mixing platforms.
In Nov of this year, hackers drained nearly $300 million worth of cryptocurrencies from this sector which is a very big amount of hack funds in any month of this year.
