2025 is shaping up to be one of the worst years for crypto security, not because of individual wallet hacks, but due to the growing number of attacks on the very infrastructure that powers the ecosystem. From cross-chain bridges to DeFi protocols and custodial services, attackers are zeroing in on the weak points that connect the entire crypto network.
Billions have already been drained as sophisticated exploits target smart contract bugs, validation mechanisms, and even centralized service providers. These aren’t basic phishing scams anymore — we’re seeing professional-level operations breaching the foundational layers of Web3.
This shift is forcing the industry to reckon with one uncomfortable truth: it’s not just users who need to be educated and cautious — platforms and protocols need a serious security upgrade too.
Until infrastructure is made truly resilient, the dream of decentralized finance will remain fragile.
