CertiK: Web3 security incidents caused $3.35B in losses this year

Global Web3 security firm CertiK has reported that security incidents have led to total losses of $3.35 billion this year. In its annual report, CertiK noted that supply chain attacks accounted for approximately half of the total, amounting to $1.45 billion, citing the Bybit hack in February as a leading example. The firm's analysis suggests that hackers are increasingly targeting core services and infrastructure supply chains common to multiple companies, rather than searching for vulnerabilities in individual protocols or smart contracts. This strategy creates systemic risk, where a single hack can lead to extensive damage. CertiK also warned users to be cautious of phishing sites and messages generated with artificial intelligence (AI).
