2026 Q2 sees 83 crypto hacks, a new all-time high
Odaily reports that according to DefiLlama data, Q2 2026 has become the most active quarter on record for crypto hacks, with 83 separate attack incidents, setting a new all-time high.
Despite the increased frequency of attacks, the total losses for the quarter were approximately $755.3 million, still lower than the $3.56 billion lost in Q4 2020. Of this, the $293 million attack on KelpDAO and the $280 million attack on Drift Protocol accounted for more than three-quarters of the quarter's total losses. Cross-chain bridges were the largest source of losses, with related attacks leading to approximately $351 million being stolen. Earlier this month, Humanity Protocol lost $36 million, Aztec Connect experienced two attacks on passive smart contracts, each losing about $2.1 million, and decentralized exchange Raydium suffered a $1.3 million attack in June.
