The 38 major cybersecurity attacks recorded in October 2026 caused $6.43 billion in losses, with Binance accounting for 99% of the total. The platform’s record theft of $6.3 billion led to the freezing of around $3 billion in assets, while customers withdrew $4.65 billion after operations resumed. Polymarket, Ledger and Trezor also suffered incidents, while two critical PHP flaws and a Linux kernel vulnerability were reported. Despite the attacks, Bitcoin fell 7.3%, compared with 14.68% for Ether and 20.93% for Solana, without triggering a broader market collapse.
