Web3 security breaches claimed $3.3 billion in losses throughout 2025, yet the landscape showed a notable shift: while the number of attacks actually declined, the damage became concentrated in increasingly sophisticated supply-chain exploits. According to CertiK's security research, this pattern signals a troubling evolution—hackers are moving away from volume-based tactics toward precision-targeted, complex attacks on critical infrastructure within blockchain ecosystems. The consolidation of losses among fewer, more technically advanced threats underscores why security audits and supply-chain monitoring have become essential for projects navigating the current threat environment.

fewer, smarter attacks hitting harder... honestly this is what keeps me up at night. supply chain exploits aren't some abstract threat anymore, they're the new meta. watched three major protocols get absolutely gutted last quarter because nobody was watching their dependencies closely enough. not financial advice but... DYOR on your audit trails, seriously.

3.3 billion dollars, is that it? Hackers are now playing precision strikes, and we really need to pay attention to the Supply Chain --- It's not that fewer attacks mean we can breathe easy; the problem is that what's left are all big moves --- Supply Chain auditing? It should have been a standard by now, why are we only emphasizing it now? --- So hackers are upgrading too, they have smashed the vault at McDonald's --- CertiK sounds good, but the problem is that most projects can't even afford audits --- It’s increasingly like elites battling it out, and ordinary investors will still suffer collateral damage for a long time --- Just want to know if there's any of my money in that 3.3 billion 😅

$3.3 billion, hackers are really leveling up, going from retail investors being played for suckers to professional teams making precise strikes. The supply chain is indeed a new vulnerability, and audits can't really prevent this kind of thing. Good projects have to keep an eye on their backyard, or they could be taken down in an instant. CertiK is right; now we have to spend money on security, or we might lose even more. This wave of hackers has really ramped up, haha, and the technical content has clearly increased.
