Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs said that in the first half of 2025, cryptocurrency losses due to attacks were as high as $2.10 billion, the majority of which were caused by crypto private key leaks and front-end intrusions. TRM Labs released a report on Thursday noting that of the 75 cryptocurrency hacks that have occurred so far this year, more than 80% of the stolen funds came from so-called infrastructure attacks. Such attacks on average take away 10 times more funds than other types of attacks.
Infrastructure attacks target the technical backbone of a system in order to gain unauthorized control, mislead users, or redirect assets. They include hijacking the private key mnemonic of a crypto wallet or exploiting the user interface part of the crypto protocol (i.e. the front end).
