Crypto lost $742.0M across 33 incidents in September 2026, almost three times August's $255.5M and the biggest month of the year so far. Bitget's $387M hack and Liquid Network's $320M exploit account for about 95% of that, with the other 31 incidents adding up to $35.0M. In August, the prices going into contracts were wrong. In September, attackers went after the systems that approve transactions in the first place. Here's the month in security 👇

Crypto lost $255.4M across 46 incidents in August 2026, roughly level with July's $254.4M, with more incidents than any month this year. June and July incidents were largely due to key compromises, but August shifted to price manipulation. Eleven oracle and price-manipulation incidents accounted for $135.87M, or 53% of the month. Two chains stopped producing blocks and rolled back state to undo the damage. Here's the month in security 👇

Crypto lost more than $240 million across 29 incidents in July 2026, up roughly 216% from June's $75.87M, even as the number of attacks fell from 40 to 29. For the second month running, the damage didn't come from clever contract exploits. The same failure class ran through Web2, from a $12.3M rail-industry ransom to a 1TB bank breach that started with one employee's email. Here's the month in security 👇
