Crypto security incidents surge in 2026 with $2.5B losses
2026 saw over 300 tracked crypto exploits, a 111% YoY increase, causing nearly $2.5 billion in losses. Disclosed OSS vulnerabilities more than tripled since January, with critical CVEs in PHP, Node.js, and Next.js. Major breaches included Railway’s environment variable leak, Ledger’s $93 M supply‑chain attack, Solflare validator key loss, and Coinbase data leak via Amplitude. AI‑driven code analysis is accelerating exploit speed, while infrastructure failures now account for ~60% of crypto losses. September recorded $743 M in losses, the largest monthly figure since early 2025.
