Editorial analysis and monthly recaps — crypto hack analysis, DeFi exploit recaps, and crypto security coverage.

Crypto lost $142.2M across 35 incidents in June — up 73.4% from May. But a whale-controlled rug pull and a DPRK phishing campaign account for 71% of that total. Strip them out, and June was actually quieter than May.
Crypto lost roughly $82M across 40+ incidents in May 2026 — down 87% from April's record. But the relief is misleading: the attack surface moved from smart-contract bugs to stolen keys, misconfigured multisigs, and broken cross-chain bridges.
