When AI is fundamentally changing the economics of attacks, when attackers shift their focus from code to humans... Written by: ChandlerZ, Foresight News In the first half of 2026, there have already been 344 security incidents in the crypto space, with cumulative losses amounting to approximately $1.32 billion. According to the Hack3d report released by CertiK in July, security incidents in the first half of the year also increased by 28% year-on-year compared to 2025. The number of security incidents in the second quarter surged from 145 last year to 194, a year-on-year increase of 34%. The median loss per incident also surged by 60.6% year-on-year, reaching about $169,000, meaning that even small- to medium-sized attacks occurring daily have significantly amplified destructive power per strike. By comparison, the $1.32 billion loss in the first half of 2026 is actually about 28% higher than the same period last year.
