Overview of June 2026 Hacks
The cryptocurrency security landscape remained under severe pressure in June 2026. According to monitoring data from PeckShield, a total of 40 major hacking incidents occurred during the month, resulting in aggregate losses of approximately $75.87 million. Although this figure represents a 7.13% decrease from May's $81.7 million, the monthly loss still hovers near the $100 million mark, underscoring the persistent threats facing crypto assets.
Key Incident Analysis
Among all attacks in June, the breach of Humanity Protocol caused the heaviest damage, with losses amounting to roughly $31 million, accounting for over 40% of the monthly total. Syscoin Bridge also suffered, losing approximately $10 million. Furthermore, the JaredFromSubway.eth MEV bot incurred losses of about $7.5 million. Other affected platforms or protocols include Secret Network, Polymarket users, SecondFi, TESSERA, Aztec Bridge, and Aztec Connect. Notably, Aztec Bridge and Aztec Connect were attacked sequentially within the same month, resulting in combined losses of roughly $4 million, exposing potential systemic vulnerabilities in their security architecture.
Money Laundering Tactics and Link Analysis
PeckShield's further investigation revealed that the attackers behind Humanity Protocol have already begun actively laundering the stolen proceeds. The fund movement involves multiple blockchains, including BTC, Solana, Hyperliquid, and BNB Chain. More alarmingly, there are indications that these funds have been mixed with assets stolen from the KelpDAO attack. This situation suggests that the threat actors behind the two incidents may be connected, potentially even belonging to the same hacker group. The use of cross-chain money laundering and fund mixing techniques makes tracking and recovering stolen assets significantly more difficult.
