TRM Labs: Crypto attacks caused $2.1 billion in losses in the first half of 2025, with infrastructure vulnerabilities accounting for over 80%

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the blockchain intelligence company TRM Labs stated that in the first half of 2025, cryptocurrency losses due to attacks could reach as high as $2.1 billion, most of which are caused by the leakage of crypto private keys and front-end intrusions.

TRM Labs released a report on Thursday indicating that of the 75 cryptocurrency hacking incidents that have occurred so far this year, over 80% of the stolen funds came from so-called infrastructure attacks. These types of attacks, on average, siphon off 10 times more funds than other types of attacks.

Infrastructure attacks target the technical backbone of systems, aiming to gain unauthorized control, mislead users, or redirect assets. They include hijacking the private key mnemonic phrases of crypto wallets or exploiting the user interface components of crypto protocols (i.e., the front end).
