Peck Shield: 50 major hacker attacks in the encryption industry in August, 67 per cent increase in the monthly ring
On 1 September, Peck Shield monitored 50 major hacker attacks in the encryption industry in August 2026, up 67 per cent from 30 in July, with a total loss of approximately $136.3 million, a 49.5 per cent decrease in the ring. Of this amount, the Cronos Eco-Lending Agreement, Tectonic, was attacked at a loss of approximately $74 million, the largest single event of the month and the fourth largest case of encrypted asset theft during the year. The attackers took only about $6 million of the bridge to the Ether factory before Cronos suspended the network, and most of the remaining funds remained in Cronos。
