Crypto survived cybersecurity awareness month… just

October closed with more than 50 crypto hacks alongside major non-crypto cybersecurity breaches, capping a bruising Cybersecurity Awareness Month for the industry. The incidents spanned DeFi protocols and centralized services, though the article did not specify aggregate losses, affected chains, or token-level price and TVL figures. The volume of breaches matters because it keeps security risk—and the cost of audits, insurance, and incident response—at the center of crypto’s adoption story. What to watch next: whether November’s incident count and losses decline, and whether protocols disclose post-mortems and reimbursement plans for affected users.
