CertiK: In 2025, hackers will shift their focus from code to users, leading to the theft of 2.1 billion USD in Crypto Assets.
PANews, June 4th news, according to Cointelegraph, Web3 cybersecurity company CertiK stated that Crypto Assets hackers are abandoning the exploitation of smart contracts vulnerabilities and are instead attacking users through social engineering methods. By 2025, losses related to attacks on Crypto Assets have exceeded $2.1 billion, with most of the losses coming from Wallet theft and phishing attacks.
Ronghui Gu, co-founder of CertiK, stated that the attack patterns have shifted from exploiting code vulnerabilities to taking advantage of human behavior vulnerabilities. Most of the $2.1 billion in losses were caused by Wallet theft, poor key management, and operational issues. The industry must now invest in better Wallet security and access control, as well as real-time transaction monitoring and simulation tools, to reduce the occurrence of future incidents.
