Blockchain hackers steal assets worth almost $3.8bn

Blockchain hackers stole nearly $3.78 billion in 122 attacks in 2020, but the number of attacks actually fell for the first time in five years. Last year's attacks accounted for almost a third (33 per cent) of the all-time number of successful hacks aimed at the fledgling technology, according to the numbers collected by Slowmist Hacked, which aggregates information about disclosed attacks aimed at blockchain projects, apps and tokens.
