Företaget CipherTrace, ett företag som bland annat utvecklar lösningar för att förhindra pengatvätt i kryptovaluta-världen, har sammanställt statistik över hur mycket kryptovalutor som stulits eller försvunnit i bedrägerier under årets första halvår och det handlar om rätt ordentliga summor.
Enligt CipherTrace rapport så har tjuvar och bedragare hittills i år olovligen kommit över 4,26 miljarder dollar, motsvarande lite över 40 miljarder kronor, i kryptovalutor från investerare, kryptovalutabörser och användare. Bland händelserna som orsakat bitcoin-handlare och bitcoin-användare förluster under årets andra halvår nämns bland annat de nordkoreanska attackerna mot olika kryptovaluta-intressen som FN rapporterade om tidigare i år, kollapsen där alla pengar från kryptovalutabörsen QuadrigaCX upptäcktes ha försvunnit i samband med att grundaren dog samt hacket mot världens största kryptovalutabörs Binance.
