01
September 2026 was the worst month for crypto hacks all year. Here is what actually happened.
02
Security firms tracked over 766 million dollars stolen across dozens of incidents in a single month.
03
That is roughly a 462 percent jump from August 2026, which saw about 136 million dollars in losses.
04
Two hacks, Bitget and Liquid Network, made up around 92 percent of the month's total damage.
05
Bitget lost 387 million dollars when hackers spoofed its internal approval system, no keys stolen.
06
Liquid Network lost 320 million dollars to a software bug, not a stolen key, and got most of it back.
07
Smaller hacks hit Safe Wallet, DCENT, and the crypto casino Duelbits the same month.
08
The lesson: 2026's biggest crypto losses came from process and code failures, not just stolen passwords.
