Crypto crime in 2025 is topping last year’s totals already.
More than $2.17 billion has been stolen from crypto services this year, more than the entirety of 2024, according to a report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis. Then again, most of that came from a single hack — a $1.46 billion heist of Bybit linked to North Korean hackers, the largest crypto theft in history — and without that, the numbers would look a little rosier.

in reply to This spaceship does not exist • • •The image depicts a futuristic landscape with several large, hovering spacecraft in the sky. The scene is set against a backdrop of towering, sleek skyscrapers that rise above a desert-like terrain. The sky is a gradient of light blue, with two large celestial bodies, possibly moons, visible in the background. The spacecraft are predominantly green and red, with some featuring a more complex design, including antennas and other equipment. The ground is a vast expanse of sandy terrain with sparse vegetation, and smaller, less detailed spacecraft are seen flying at a lower altitude. The overall color palette includes shades of orange, green, and blue, creating a striking contrast between the natural and artificial elements.
