Cryptocurrency intelligence firm reported that CipherTraces Q3, 2018, cryptocurrency thefts had already reached $927 million.
Previously CipherTrace second-quarter report said, the company identified that there were more thefts during the first half of 2018 compared to the entire year of 2017 alone. Some $731 million worth of cryptocurrency was stolen from exchanges with some of the most notable hacks including that of Japanese exchange Coincheck at $530 million, and BitGrail that lost some $195 million dollars worth of tokens.
As of the Q3 report, the number now stands at $927 million lost in cyber attacks and CipherTrace predicts that this trend will continue. By the end of the year, they say, thefts will add up to well over $1 billion.
I don't think that the crypto currency scammers, theft and other people that does wrong with the crypto currency community will stop. But I still do hope they will. It will be a great help for all of us then. A more peaceful place and very delighted to walk into lile the old days it was.
