Crypto analytics platform Dune has launched a new dashboard mapping the extent of crypto-related cybercrime, documenting over 5,500 incidents of hacks, exploits, and phishing scams across the blockchain ecosystem. The platform’s “Hacks, Exploits and Social Engineering Dashboard” represents one of the most comprehensive efforts yet to quantify crime in crypto.
Curtis notes that the dashboard’s data likely underestimates the full scope of crypto crime, saying it represents a “lower bound” of funds lost. Still, the comprehensive repository provides blockchain sleuths with new insights into how stolen funds are funneled through various channels.
“If a scammer is trying to move their ill-gotten gains and cash out or launder their funds — then that’s something that I know exchanges want to watch for, making sure their platforms are not, you know, being used for that activity,” Curtis said.
