Hacken analysts have summarized the incidents in the field of cybersecurity and fraud related to crypto projects during 2023. Attackers managed to steal approximately $1.9 billion. Over the past year, 447 similar incidents were registered in the cryptocurrency industry. Compared to the previous year, losses have significantly decreased, but the number of incidents, on the contrary, has increased.

The largest cyber attack in 2023 related to Multichain didn't even make it to the top 10 in terms of damage over the past two years.

Crypto project teams managed to recover up to 20% of the stolen funds, which is approximately $400 million. In most cases, successful negotiations and effective interaction with hackers contributed to the recovery of the stolen assets. The report also mentions the case of the Euler Finance hack, where a hacker stole about $200 million in cryptocurrency, but returned all the funds to the project after successful negotiations.
