BlockBeat reported, citing data from DeFiLlama, "As of the 18th, 12 cryptocurrency security incidents have occurred in April, with total damages exceeding $606 million (approximately 900 billion KRW). This figure is 3.7 times the total security damages in Q1." In this regard, BlockBeat added, "Based on monthly damages, April 2026 has become the 'worst month' with the largest losses since February 2025. Even excluding large-scale hacking incidents such as Drift Protocol and KelpDAO, security incidents are continuously occurring in smaller protocols. Although the damages were not significant, the trust in the DeFi industry is being shaken."
