In the frantic bazaar of decentralized finance—a sort of virtual Monte Carlo where fortunes flicker and vanish like so many forgettable duchesses—crypto miscreants helped themselves to a staggering $92 million in April 2025, or so Immunefi assures us, waving their report about like a butler flourishing the silverware after a particularly raucous dinner party. 🕵️♂️
Fifteen platforms, each presumably basking in the illusion of impenetrable security, fell victim to a crime spree with all the subtlety of an elephant in a porcelain shop. For those who recall March’s paltry $41 million in loot, this marks a 124% leap—proof, if proof were needed, that innovation in digital theft proceeds at a brisker pace than innovation in defense.
UPCX—something of a darling among DeFi dreamers—endured a $70 million vanishing act, outdoing even the boldest escapologists. In second place, KiloEx hemorrhaged $7.5 million, but in a touching (or perhaps, guilt-induced?) gesture, the miscreant promptly returned the funds. Truly, no honor among thieves—except maybe on weekends. 🤑
Immunefi’s treatise, composed and published on April 30 for the pleasure and terror of the masses, points out that not a single penny was pinched from centralized exchanges in April. All wounds, it seems, were strictly self-inflicted within DeFi’s carnival tent. 🎪
The security firm itself stands as a sort of digital housekeeper, employed to safeguard some $190 billion of other people’s assets—while dolling out $116 million in bug bounties to those virtuous hackers who, one supposes, prefer their Swiss accounts topped up via legitimate means.
Mitchell Amador, Immunefi’s fearless CEO, announced that things are, believe it or not, looking ever more ominous: “State-backed actors are clearly the top threat,” he intoned, sounding for all the world like a 1950s civil servant briefing the nation on the scourge of Soviet spies lurking under every hedge. Security teams, he added, must defend every orifice of the machine, for the hackers have nothing better to do and bags under their eyes that would put any barrister to shame.
The report, delivered with all the optimism of a telegram announcing rain on Ascot, confirmed April’s pilferings had already elbowed 2025’s losses past $1.7 billion—a sum great enough to make even the most stoic gin-drinker drop their monocle. The hacking spree, it appears, has more momentum than an Oxford rowing eight after a bad lunch, showing little sign of decline despite all the brave talk and bespectacled consultants. All this, of course, after Bybit’s record-breaking $1.5 billion bungle back in February. 🏴☠️
