So the biggest single number is this : "Digital asset storage services faced 36 attacks, with losses totaling $7.19 billion." Bigger than exchanges hacks. Exchanges have the excuse that they need hot wallets to process incoming and outgoing transactions, and they have many employees that could do an inside job. What are the excuse of "digital asset storage services" ?

This is why as much as I trade in bitcoin I always have to be on the lookout for my welfare because there's so much threats to it. At on point my bitcoin wallet was almost hacked and I could have lost all of my ifunds. In decided to take better measures to keep my wallet safe. You can even be scammed which is way worse than being hacked because you actually fall for what you are being told by the scammers. As there are bitcoin miners and traders there are also bitcoin hackers. It has become a profession do some people and it is why you  always need to secure your account while you are trading or using bitcoin. It is a risky business.

Well.. I am not surprised by the numbers. When I first created an account here in Bitcointalk, the board was full of such threads about people complaining that their wallets got hacked and the coins were stolen. And in most cases, the victims had failed to take proper security precautions. Had they activated 2FA or made email authentication mandatory, then 99% of these incidents could have been avoided. Nowadays the users are more careful and that is the reason why we are hearing such stories with lower frequency.
