According to a recent report by blockchain security firm Beosin, there has been a 53.9% decrease in total losses from hacks, phishing scams, and rug pulls in 2023 compared to the previous year. However, there has been an alarming surge in offline crypto crimes, with global losses increasing by 377% to $65.68 billion. DeFi projects faced the highest number of attacks, with 130 causing approximately $408 million in losses, while Ethereum experienced a substantial reduction in losses. The decline in cross-chain bridge attacks is a positive trend, responsible for only 7% of total losses. The report highlights significant attacks, including Mixin Network's cloud provider breach resulting in $200 million losses, Euler Finance's $197 million loss due to a contract vulnerability, and Poloniex's $126 million breach linked to a private key compromise.
