CryptoSec, a crypto cybersecurity resource, has tracked some 75 hacks tracking crypto’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem which have stolen $1.7 billion since 2020―about $816 million of that was stolen between August and December of 2021, a figure that doesn't even include hacks in 2022 that have amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of stolen cryptocurrency so far.
