Industry context makes this bigger.
182 security incidents across crypto in H1 2026. $956,000,000 lost total.
Up 50% in event count from last year.
Attackers shifted from smart contract exploits to social engineering and AI-powered scams.
OKX's own intelligence library: 1.1 billion tags across 420+ blockchain networks.
