Private Key Leaks And Front-end Hacks Dominate 2025 Crypto Thefts

In the first half of 2025, crypto thefts reached $2.1 billion, primarily due to attacks on infrastructure stealing private keys and seed phrases. State-sponsored hacks, particularly from North Korea, contributed significantly to these losses, exploiting vulnerabilities in centralized exchanges. Users are advised to prioritize security measures like hardware wallets, 2FA, and vigilant website verification to mitigate risks.
