Hack3d: The Web3 Security Quarterly Report

Hack3d's Q3 2023 Web3 security report documents $699M lost across 184 incidents, highlights the significant role of the North Korean-affiliated Lazarus Group (~$291M), and identifies private key compromises, centralized control failures (e.g., Mixin and Multichain), and smart contract exploits as primary drivers of loss; the report also discusses systemic weaknesses such as lack of development standards and offers predictions and mitigation guidance for the maturation of blockchain security.
