In 2024, centralized finance (CeFi) platforms are emerging as the primary targets for cryptocurrency hacks and cybersecurity threats.
According to Deddy Lavid, CEO of <a href="https://cyvers.ai" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cyvers</a>, CeFi entities are responsible for over 70% of the stolen funds in recent cyber attacks.
Lavid explained that these platforms are involved in a significant majority of hacking incidents this year. While attacks on smart contracts are also on the rise, CeFi remains the most vulnerable sector.
To combat these threats, Cyvers has teamed up with Arthera Chain to advance Web3 security, focusing on real-time threat detection and comprehensive monitoring.
Recent high-profile breaches, such as the $230 million theft from WazirX, highlight the urgent need for improved security measures.
With hackers reportedly stealing $542.7 million in digital assets during the first quarter of 2024—an increase of 42% from the previous year—there’s a clear push for more robust defenses.
Lavid stresses the importance of a holistic security approach, which includes safeguarding entire networks and addressing both technical and human factors.&nbsp;
Despite progress in smart contract security, private key leaks remain a major issue, accounting for over 55% of stolen assets in 2023.
