\"Phishing,<\/p>\n

CertiK has urged crypto users not to overlook basic security practices as major crypto hacks spiked in April.<\/p>\n

Real-time deepfakes, phishing attacks, supply chain compromises and cross-chain vulnerabilities will likely be the root of some of the biggest hacks in 2026, according to CertiK senior blockchain investigator Natalie Newson.<\/p>\n

The industry has already lost over $600 million to hacks in 2026, owed largely to two North Korea-linked crypto thefts in April, including the $293 million Kelp<\/a> DAO exploit on Saturday involving a single point-of-trust failure in cross-chain messaging protocol LayerZero\u2019s infrastructure, and the $280 million exploit of the Drift Protocol.<\/p>\n
