#PeckShieldAlert 2025 witnessed a sharp escalation in the crypto threat landscape. #Scam and #phishing-related losses reached $1.37B, a 64.17% YoY increase from 2024. While the sheer volume of scams grew, the tactical shift toward high-value individual targeting—specifically through sophisticated social engineering—has resulted in a higher average loss per incident. Furthermore, tracked laundering associated with exploits hit $1.49B, representing a 14.6% uptick. This surge is likely driven by a higher concentration of high-value exploits. (Note: Our analysis focused on a selective set of reported incidents involving hack losses >$10M.)
