Blockchain security firm Hacken reported that hackers stole $1.18 billion from crypto projects in the third quarter of 2026, a 55% increase from the previous quarter, as the company warned that security audits often fail to cover the systems attackers actually target. According to Hacken, $906.8 million of the losses came from compromised suppliers or developer tools, uninstalled security fixes, or components excluded from the latest security review.
