  • $409 million stolen in the third quarter, 40% less than in the year-earlier period.
  • The majority of stolen funds can be attributed to the hacks of WazirX and BingX, with $235 million and $52 million being stolen respectively.
  • DeFi remains an unparalleled opportunity for blackhat hackers, Immunefi said.
  • The Ethereum blockchain was the most common target for hackers, with 15 incidents of theft reported compared with eight on BNB Chain and two on Base.
  • There were also two incidents of funds being recovered after being stolen. Ronin Network recouped $10 million from a $12 million hack and ShezmuTech clawed back all $4.9 million that was taken.
