Kaspersky, the popular cybersecurity firm, recently published a report that took a closer look at the threats surrounding crypto and its users, including investors encountering scams, fraudulent websites, identity theft, and theft of crypto assets.

Kaspersky surveyed a group of 2000 American adults between 20 October and 24 October last year. The subjects were questioned about their experience with crypto as well as the steps taken by them to protect their crypto assets.

According to the report, one-third of the respondents who have owned crypto assets, have had them stolen. The average value of theft came in at a whopping $97,583.

The value of theft ranged from less than $100 to $1 million. 15% of the respondents said that they had between $100,000 and $1 million worth of crypto assets stolen.
