A year of headline-grabbing hacks and scandals made 2022 a tough year when it comes to securing digital assets.
Victims lost $3 billion to crypto hacks in 2022, according to Chainalysis, a spike from $2 billion lost in 2021.
Another estimate shows that victims of major hacks and scandals have lost a total of $4.3 billion, according to data security firm Privacy Affairs. The same report shows that Americans lost $329 million in just the first quarter of 2022, long before the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, during which hackers allegedly drained wallets after it filed for bankruptcy.

FTX wasn't the only Crypto-scam of the 2022. 5 other non-FTX funds bilked their unwary investors of over $100M each, including Wormhole Crypto Bridge, Axie Infinity, Beanstalk Farms, Nomad Bridge, and Wintermute. I am glad to see the veil lifted on the underbelly of the whole Crypto-verse, as I was getting tired of the dangerous banter around world wide conversion to these systems.
