Crypto Audits Questioned After Q3 Hacks Reach $1.18 Billion, Hacken Reports

According to security firm Hacken, cryptocurrency hacks accounted for $1.18 billion in third-quarter losses. The firm reported that 77% of those losses stemmed from compromised suppliers, delayed fixes, or systems operating outside recent audit reviews.

Why it matters for the market
