Crypto hacks reached a record 212 incidents in the first half of 2026, with over 1.1 billion dollars stolen across verified exploits, according to Blockaid’s H1 2026 Onchain Security Report.

Dollar losses remained below the same period in 2025, when the 1.5 billion dollar Bybit theft alone dwarfed all other incidents combined.
