The list of hacks is quite impressive, although everyone says that decentralized exchanges are safe, and statistics say the opposite, there are hackers who withdraw huge amounts, so there is no 100% confidence anywhere in the crypto world.

Crypto-Related Crime Hit Record $14B in 2021—But Shrank by Volume: Chainalysis
Crypto scammers bagged a whopping $14 billion last year. Still, crime is becoming a much smaller part of the industry.
Andrew Asmakov(C)
https://decrypt.co/89854/crypto-related-crime-hit-record-high-14b-2021-chainalysis
"As Chainalysis reported last month, revenues from crypto scams in 2021 were up 81% on the previous year (corrected to 82% in today’s report) to $7.8 billion.

Of this total, so-called rug pulls—a malicious practice where developers build a seemingly legitimate crypto project only to get away with investors' money—accounted for 37% of all crypto scam revenue, or more than $2.8 billion.

“Many investors could likely have avoided losing funds to rug pulls if they’d stuck to DeFi projects that have undergone a code audit—or if [decentralized exchanges] required code audits before listing tokens,” Chainalysis said.

Cryptocurrency theft grew even more, according to the report, with about $3.2 billion worth of crypto stolen in 2021—a staggering 516% increase compared to 2020."

Crypto Scam Revenue Up 81% in 2021, Hits $7.7 Billion: Chainalysis

Over 4,000 ‘Criminal Whales’ Hold $25 Billion Worth of Crypto: Report
Criminal crypto balances surged from $3 billion to $11 billion, mostly due to the crypto market's rise in 2021 but also an increase in hacks.
https://decrypt.co/92995/over-4000-criminal-whales-hold-25-billion-worth-crypto-report
"New Chainalysis data has found that 4,068 “criminal whales” hold $25 billion worth of cryptocurrency. The firm defines criminal crypto whales as any private wallet that holds $1 million or more of cryptocurrency and has received 10% or more of those funds through illicit addresses. (In other words, not all of that $25 billion is illicit.)"

Here is another message about the attack, it seems that the DeFi QiDao Protocol project lost tokens for a total of $13 million, thanks to the exploit, hackers managed to withdraw tokens QI, WETH, USDC, SDT, MOCA, STACK, sdam3CRV and MATIC. Although the project team itself recognizes the fact of the exploit, but claims that users' funds are safe, but analysts see a different picture. Sad

Tinyman - the amount of hacking is unknown
Official Announcement About the Incidents of 01.01.2022
https://tinymanorg.medium.com/official-announcement-about-the-incidents-of-01-01-2022-56abb19d8b19
"When the attack began, total liquidity in Tinyman was around 43 million USD, only to be reduced to around 20 million even hours after the attack. Following our advice, projects and users have begun removing their liquidities, which brought the total number down to 5 million USD. It is crucial to realize that the difference between the 43 million USD and the current number is not a lost amount, a huge portion of this amount was reclaimed by the users and is totally safe in their wallets."

Not your keys, not your coins!

$8.8M is not big but not small.

I wonder that will the Visor Finance team will do compensation for their users. If they seriously compensate for their users, they will have to sacrifice their income in many months and in the same time, they will have to pay cost for staffs, developments, operations, maintenance and other things to keep their DeFi platform up and run.

It is not a good thing and it's bad to see it happened around Christmas which should be a peaceful period for all.

BadgerDAO reveals the details of the hacker attack that allowed the theft of $120 million, everything boils down, in their opinion, to the unauthorized use of API keys of the Cloudflare Workers service.
The full technical analysis from the BadgerDAO team is here: https://badger.com/technical-post-mortem

Quote from: https://twitter.com/BadgerDAO/status/1469351128357904391

Personally, one bad experience was enough for me using API keys to access an account on the yobit garbage exchange four years ago, after which I lost 0.5 BTC, but it was my funds, and here such a number of users and such vulnerability suffered, IMHO here is completely the fault of the developers.

The next victim of hackers in the DeFi segment was the Grim Finance platform, losses are estimated at more than $30 million, developers have suspended deposits and recommend users to withdraw their funds urgently.
