Written by: ChandlerZ, Foresight News In the first half of 2026, there were 344 security incidents in the crypto space, with cumulative losses of approximately $1.32 billion. According to the Hack3d report released by CertiK in July, the number of security incidents in the first half of the year also increased by 28% year-over-year compared to 2025.
