A recent report from security firm Kerberos sheds light on the alarming trend of human-targeted attacks in the Web3 sector, revealing that these incidents account for the majority of financial losses. The source notes that despite unprecedented investments in security, the findings indicate a critical vulnerability in real-time protection for users.

Cybersecurity Losses in 2025

The report, which covers the first half of 2025, estimates that over $31 billion was lost to hacks and scams, with more than $600 million specifically linked to:

  • phishing
  • wallet compromises
  • social engineering tactics

This staggering figure underscores the growing sophistication of cybercriminals and the urgent need for enhanced security measures.

Need for Improved Real-Time Protection

Kerberos emphasizes that while organizations are heavily investing in preventative strategies and post-incident analyses, there remains a significant gap in real-time protection. This shortfall leaves users exposed during crucial transaction approvals, highlighting the necessity for a shift in focus towards immediate threat detection and response mechanisms.
