As a crypto investor with a few years under my belt, May 2024 has left me reeling. The relentless wave of hacks that swept through the digital finance community this month has been nothing short of alarming. With PeckShieldAlert reporting a staggering 666% increase in breaches compared to April and a mind-boggling $574.6 million in losses, it’s clear that the stakes have never been higher.
May 2024 saw an unprecedented increase in cryptocurrency hacks, resulting in a significant ripple effect within the digital finance sector. According to PeckShieldAlert’s findings, there was a shocking 666% rise in breaches compared to the previous month, leading to staggering losses of approximately $574.6 million.
As an analyst, I find it quite concerning that hackers managed to steal around $385 million from the total amount. This represents a new and unsettling benchmark in ill-gotten profits for these cybercriminals.
In May 2024, approximately 30 crypto space hacks occurred, leading to an estimated total loss of around $574.6 million and approximately $385 million in profits for the hackers. This represents a significant jump of roughly 666% compared to the losses incurred in April 2024.

In the digital realm, a major theft occurred resulting in a massive loss of $305 million for DMM Bitcoin, leaving investors in disbelief. Amidst this turmoil, there are tales of resilience. Despite suffering a setback of $212 million due to a breach, Gala Games demonstrated remarkable fortitude by rebounding with earnings of $22.4 million.
Smaller companies weren’t exempted from the financial losses. Sonne Finance faced a setback of $20 million, while Coinbase Account Drainer and an enigmatic figure named “A Whale” incurred losses totaling $18 million and $8.2 million respectively.
In the unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies, the mettle of its users is being severely tested as they face challenging market conditions. This situation highlights the necessity of implementing strong security protocols and maintaining a high level of alertness to protect digital wealth from the continually changing threats.
