Hackers stole roughly $3.8 billion in 2022, making it a record year for stolen digital assets, according to the latest report<\/a> from blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis.<\/p>\n

According to the report, 82.1% of the amount was stolen from DeFi protocols, mainly via bridge exploits targeting vulnerabilities in code. North Korea-linked hackers Lazarus Group stole roughly $1.7 billion out of the total during the year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a new crypto mixer called Sinbad has become hackers' go-to protocol to wash stolen funds after the demise of Tornado Cash, according to Chainalysis.<\/p>\n

Crypto hackers' record year<\/h2>\n

According to the Chainalysis report, the trend of DeFi protocols getting hacked which began in 2021, has intensified over 2022.<\/p>\n

Funds stolen from DeFi protocols made up 82.1% of the total \u2014 roughly $3.1 billion. Compared to the amount stolen in 2021, the number is up 73.3% on an annual basis.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 64% of the $3.1 billion stolen from DeFi protocols came from bridge exploits over the year. The biggest exploit of the year was Axie Infinity's Ronin bridge hack<\/a> in March 2022. Hackers exploited the bridge to steal $612 million and, over the coming months, began moving it through mixers like Tornado Cash and Chip Mixer.<\/p>\n

Hackers stole roughly $775.7 million in October 2022, making it the worst month of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Total

Bridge protocols allow for interoperability between blockchains. They facilitate the transfer of cryptocurrency from one blockchain to another by locking assets in a smart contract on the original chain and creating equivalent assets on the second chain.<\/p>\n

However, these smart contracts become large centralized repositories of funds, making them a prime target for hackers who can target weaknesses inherent to the code architecture.<\/p>\n

North Korea-linked Lazarus Group responsible for bulk of exploits<\/h2>\n

Cybercriminal syndicate Lazarus Group, which the FBI has linked to the North Korean state<\/a>, has been the leading perpetrator of cryptocurrency hacks in recent years.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Lazarus set a new record by stealing an estimated $1.7 billion through multiple hacks.<\/p>\n

According to Chainalysis, North Korea-linked hacking groups tend to favor laundering their funds through custodial mixers, rather than decentralized exchanges, or DEXs.<\/p>\n

Following sanctions against Tornado Cash in August 2022, North Korean-linked hackers have allegedly turned to another custodial mixer, Sinbad.<\/p>\n

Sinbad Custodial Mixer<\/h1>\n

Sinbad is a newly established custodial Bitcoin mixer that started promoting its services on the BitcoinTalk forum in October 2022. Chainalysis investigators discovered North Korea-linked hackers sending funds to the service in December 2022, as shown on the Chainalysis Reactor graph below.<\/p>\n
