Researchers have identified an uptick in cyber attacks targeting decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, particularly following network upgrades. The trend, affecting platforms in Singapore and the United States, has raised concerns amongst retail investors and platform operators. These attacks often exploit vulnerabilities introduced during system updates, subsequently leading to data breaches and significant financial losses. While exact figures are not disclosed, the incidents have prompted a renewed emphasis on cybersecurity measures within the DeFi ecosystem. Industry experts are urging investors and developers to prioritize security audits and educate themselves on risk management practices to minimize the impact of such exploits.
