Crypto Scammers Have Been Quiet in February, Hacks Fall by 90%

Crypto exploits declined by more than 90% in February, with digital asset thieves siphoning just $35.7 million across the ecosystem.

The sharp decline marks the quietest month for crypto security since March 2025, providing a brief reprieve for a sector routinely battered by nine-figure hacks.

Data compiled by blockchain security firm CertiK revealed a drastic month-over-month drop from January’s staggering losses.

Meanwhile, the figures also represent a massive year-over-year contraction. Last year’s February was dominated by a historic $1.5 billion exploit on the Bybit exchange, an anomaly that heavily skewed annual security metrics.
