Beosin EagleEye platform, a subsidiary of Beosin, a blockchain security audit company, revealed in a research report that Web3 lost approximately $890 million to various security breaches, phishing scams, and rug pulls in the third quarter of 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breaking down the losses, it was revealed that 43 separate hacker attacks led to a cumulative loss of around $540 million, while phishing scams resulted in an approximate loss of $66.15 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, 81 incidents of rug pulls within projects led to a total loss of approximately $280 million.<\/p>\n

DeFi Accounted for 67.4% of all Incidents<\/h2>\n

DeFi, or Decentralized Finance, remained the most frequently targeted sector, accounting for 67.4% of all incidents with 29 attacks reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amongst the various project types, public chains experienced the most substantial losses, with Ethereum alone accounting for $227 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ethereum also took the unfortunate lead in security incidents, tallying up 16 during the quarter.<\/p>\n

Examining attack methods, it was found that private key leaks were the most costly, causing losses of $223 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, a significant portion of the stolen funds, approximately $360 million, remained within the control of the hackers, representing a worrying 67% of the total.<\/p>\n

10% of Stolen Funds Were Retrieved in Q3 2023<\/h2>\n

Efforts to recover stolen assets yielded limited success, with only 10% of the stolen funds retrieved during the quarter.<\/p>\n

The audit landscape revealed that both audited and unaudited projects bore the brunt of these security incidents almost equally, with audited projects representing 48.8% and unaudited projects making up 46.5% of the affected cases.<\/p>\n

While blockchain technology continues to revolutionize various industries, the persistent threat of cyberattacks and scams remains a critical concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
