Hello can you please include the link of the actual article so that we can also read and verify for ourselves the content of the article? I appreciate you summarizing the content but some of us want to actually read it.
This is the article OP probably talks about,
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/05/30/crypto-hacks-rug-pulls-led-to-473m-worth-of-losses-in-2024-immunefi/Anyway we are still in June and $473 million is already a huge money.
It is. At least, there is a positive note to it. According to the article, the amount stolen last month it is 12 percent less than last year.
But I repeat and I will repeat this infinitely until the problem is solved. Most of these 'Hacks' still happen massively because the lack of interest of big platforms in solving the issues. Try to create a Scam Google advertisement. I doubt it will stay up on ANY big platform for too long. Cryptocurrency Scam artists long live without any trouble, impersonating big personalities even.
