Top Five Incidents Where Users Lost Their Crypto Assets To Hacks - crypto nft
There are several ways one can go about losing their crypto assets. Still, the process involves bad actors gaining unauthorized access to user funds and transacting them out of their wallets. Since cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible, the owners are powerless once their funds are stolen.
While protocol-level hacks such as these lead to users losing their funds for no fault, hacks aimed at individuals highlight the negligence exhibited over cybersecurity measures. The easy hack is a unique mixture of a protocol-level hack aimed at an individual, as the hackers targeted the DeFi protocol’s CEO. A laptop he possessed had access to wallets containing many stablecoins and the native EASY tokens staked in the protocol’s lending pool smart contracts.
The wallet included multiple popular NFTs, including a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT, among others, and over 9000 APE coins. The assets in the compromised hot wallet added up to $231,000.The hot wallet’s internet connectivity offers hackers myriad ways to gain access to wallet-related funds, sometimes circumventing security measures introduced by the developers.
The victim lost his funds to a phishing attack launched at several Ledger users, whose emails were leaked along with their house addresses and phone numbers. As a result, Ledger went through a massive data breach leading to the doxing of thousands of its customers. The hackers convinced users to click on the malicious link in their email and enter their wallet seed phrases and other credentials on their landing page.
