Hackers stole about $ 2 billion in cryptocurrency in July

According to analysts at Chainalysis, the amount of cryptocurrency stolen by hackers in July was almost $ 2 billion. However, these figures are lower compared to previous years.

According to analysts, in July 2020, attackers stole less money than in the same period in 2021 and 2019. Experts also emphasized that investors should be prepared for an increase in the number of thefts in winter, as it is usually the most profitable month for crypto fraudsters.

However, cryptocurrency fraud has decreased by 65% due to the fall in the value of cryptocurrencies. Thus, Chainalysis analysts published a report on losses from cryptocurrency fraud since the beginning of 2022, which amounted to $ 1.6 billion (65% less than in 2021).
