A Majority of the $2 Billion in Crypto Stolen in 2022 Stemmed from Defi Exploits

“After a long negotiation,” Crema Finance explained, “the hacker agreed to take 45,455 SOL as the white hat bounty. Now we have confirmed the receipt of 6,064 ETH + 23,967.9 SOL in four transactions… A follow-up compensation plan will be released in 48h.”
Decentralized finance (defi) protocols have fallen victim to numerous hacks in 2022. In the first quarter alone, $1.3 billion in crypto funds was stolen from people, exchanges, or defi protocols. 97% of the $1.3 billion stemmed from defi exploits and during the second quarter, $670 million was stolen from defi exploits.
A majority of the stolen crypto from Q2 2022’s defi exploits came from four different projects, according to a извештај written by Immunefi. The four projects include Beanstalk, Harmony Хоризон Бридге, Mirror Protocol, and Fei Protocol.
Just before announcing the successful communications with the hacker, Crema Finance detailed that it submitted its new codebase for audit to the blockchain security firm Словмист. “Crema’s protocol will go live again after the new audit is completed,” the Crema Finance team рекао.
Once in a while, some defi projects get lucky and are able to negotiate with the attackers, and the hacker decides to return a fraction or all of the stolen funds. While there have been many attempts to talk to a hacker or offer them a reward, a majority of defi projects fail to make contact with the attacker and wind up eating the loss.
