CertiK: April Sees Decline in Crypto Hacking Losses

There was a noticeable decrease in losses from hacks and scams in the area of crypto in April, as reported by the security company, CertiK.

#CertiKStatsAlert 🚨

Combining all the incidents in April we’ve confirmed ~$25.7m lost to exploits, hacks and scams.

The lowest figure we’ve recorded, dating back to 2021.

A 141% decrease from March

Exit scams: ~$4.3m
Flash loans: ~$129k

— CertiK Alert (@CertiKAlert) April 30, 2024

CertiK had total losses of less than $26 million in April, which is 141% less than in March. API security is constantly raising the bar in protecting digital assets to eradicating hacking through private keys. 

Flash-loan-related attacks induced losses of more than $129,000 with the largest one causing damages of $55,000 marking the lowest since February 2022. 

Although the statistics in April presented a positive outlook, unfortunately, the first quarter recorded $336 million as a fraud and theft incident, based on Immunefi’s findings. This is a major decrease in Crypto scams from the previous, but it still highlights apparent security issues in DeFi.
