Crypto -Hacks are 22% falling in September 2025, but $ 127 million still lost due to exploits

The lost funds of attacks last month reduced by 22% to $ 127 million, but 2025 is still one of the most harmful years for Web3 protection.

Blockchain security company Peckshield has shown that in September 2025 there were approximately 20 large crypto exploits that cost users and projects $ 127 million.

Although the total of 22% falls compared to the $ 163 million stolen in August, it still shows how many hackers the digital assets sector harm.

Uxlink, Swissborg and Venus Leiden the biggest losses of September

In a post of 2 October on X, Peckshield marked Uxlink’s $ 44 million exploit as the largest of last month. The Social Web3 project was hit for the first time on September 22 when bad actors manipulated his multi-signature wallet, the administrator’s checks took away and $ 11.3 million drain.

Shortly thereafter, attackers made billions of new UXLink tokens on arbitrum, almost doubled and the offer and sent the price of the token more than 70%. Despite efforts of exchanges such as Upbita to freeze assets, most stolen funds remain in the portfolios of the attackers.

Elsewhere, Swiss Wealth Management Platform Swissborg lost around $ 41.5 million. The infringement happened because Kiln, a familiar third party that deals with the Solana (SOL) commitment, was attacked in the Supply Chain. The hacker was able to take over control of nearly 193,000 Sol by hiding malicious instructions in what seemed to be at a normal onstacle request.

A phishing -scam also shook the Venus lending platform on 2. In that incident, a victim lost about $ 13 million after he had been misled in a fake zoom meeting, so that attackers took over their device and change their wallet code. Venus quickly stopped operations and then with violence Closed The positions of the criminal to get the stolen money back.

Other exploits mentioned by Peckshield include an incident on the Yala Stablecoin protocol that led to the loss of $ 7.6 million, and Griffai, which lost $ 3 million in a smaller but more focused attack.

A year of heavy losses despite recent decline

Even with the DIP of September, 2025 has already formed as one of the most harmful years for crypto protection. Hacken, a blockchain security company, said in July that more than $ 3.1 billion was stolen in the first half of the year alone, which is more than the full year of $ 2.85 billion in 2024.

The pattern shows that two things get worse: attackers use backdoors or privileged access points that have been missed by security teams, and users still fall for social engineering. Analysts have noted that unless platforms invest heavier in paved access control, independent audits and user education, the DIP of September can be temporarily in what a record year for crypto crime remains.
