GoPlus Annual Security Report: 1200 Major Security Incidents Resulted in Over $3.5 Billion in Total Losses, with Attackers Employing a Dual Strategy of 'Targeted Attacks' and 'Widespread Phishing'
BlockBeats News, December 30th. According to GoPlus RektDatabase data, there were over 1200 significant security incidents in the Web3 field in 2025, resulting in a total loss of over 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. The most common types of attacks and fraud were private key theft (based on virus trojans and social engineering), phishing attacks, and Rug Tokens (fraudulent Tokens).
Among them, the Bybit hack (February 21st, $1.5 billion), the Cetus hack (May 22nd, $223 million), and the Balancer hack (November 2nd, $128 million) were the top 3 events in terms of losses in 2025.
The security situation shows a clear trend of "increased number of large-scale events" and "significant reduction in the cost of minor fraud by users," marking a trend where attackers employ both "precision hunting" and "broad net casting" strategies simultaneously.
It is worth noting that there were a total of 12 incidents in 2025 where the single loss exceeded 30 million U.S. dollars, with 7 of them related to CeFi. The main reasons were administrator private key theft and hot wallet private key theft, exposing significant risks.
