The PeckShieldAlert 2025 report reveals a dramatic escalation in cryptocurrency threats. Losses from scams and phishing reached $1.37 billion, a 64.17% increase from 2024.
While the number of scams surged, a shift in attacker tactics—targeting high-value individuals, particularly through sophisticated social engineering—resulted in higher average losses per incident.
Furthermore, money laundering related to exploits reached $1.49 billion, a 14.6% increase. This growth is likely due to a higher concentration of high-value exploit cases. (Note: Our analysis focuses on reported incidents with losses exceeding $10 million.)
