The month of October has broken all records for crypto exploits and the amount of digital loot pilfered — living up to its new moniker of "Hacktober" — according to the latest figures.
On Oct. 31, blockchain security firm PeckShield tweeted some scary statistics for the month, reporting a total of $2.98 billion in stolen digital assets as of Oct. 31, 2022, which is nearly double the $1.55 billion lost in all of 2021.
