Access control vulnerabilities are emerging as one of the biggest threats to Web3 security, as they have cost the industry $4 billion worth of losses during the past three years, according to Cyvers. During 2024, cyberattacks against centralized entities and wallets rose by over 1,000%, highlighting the need for more robust security threat detection.
