Cybercriminals stole $2.7 billion in crypto this year, a new record for crypto-stealing hacks, according to blockchain monitoring firms. Once again, in 2025, there were dozens of crypto heists hitting several cryptocurrency exchanges and other web3 and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. The biggest hack by far was the breach at Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit, where hackers stole around $1.4 billion in crypto.

The campaign spreads the Odyssey Stealer and AMOS (Atomic macOS Stealer) malware families. Both families focus on stealing system information, browser data, and crypto wallet login details. The attacks are carefully designed to exploit developers' trust. The fake Homebrew and TradingView sites display seemingly legitimate download portals with buttons such as Copy command. When a user clicks the button, a hidden, base64-encoded Terminal command is copied to the clipboard.
