A single crypto user lost around $280M in one of the largest individual thefts ever 😳
The attack was linked to phishing/ social engineering, not a platform hack - meaning the weak point was human, not tech.
This one case made up over 70% of total crypto losses in that month, showing how big single incidents can be.
Most funds were drained quickly, highlighting how fast these attacks unfold once access is gained.
January saw hundreds of millions lost overall, driven mainly by scams rather than protocol failures.
It’s a reminder that even experienced holders can fall victim if security is compromised.
The industry is pushing for better protection, but user awareness remains critical 👀
