August sets a grim pace: 50 crypto exploits, $136M drained in a single month
PeckShield's August data points to a sustained rise in attack frequency, not just dollar size · 50 incidents in one month averages out to nearly two exploits per day, suggesting attackers are operating more systematically. The real concern is normalization: as breach volume climbs, smaller hacks stop making headlines, which can mask the cumulative bleed from protocols and users alike. Watch whether September's figures follow the same trajectory or whether the spike triggers a meaningful response from security auditors and on-chain insurance providers.
