Blockbeat, citing data from DefiLlama, reported, "As of the 18th, 12 cryptocurrency security incidents have occurred in April, with total damages exceeding $606 million (approximately 900 billion won). This figure is 3.7 times the total security damages in Q1." In this regard, Blockbeat added, "Based on monthly damages, April 2026 became the 'worst month' with the largest losses since February 2025. Even excluding major hacking incidents like Drift Protocol and KelpDAO, security incidents are occurring one after another in smaller protocols. Although the damages were not significant, the trust in the DeFi industry is being shaken."
