Recently, the digital asset security field has shown a remarkable polarization trend. On one hand, favorable information regarding the overall security situation has emerged. According to the latest report from the blockchain security company PI Shield, the losses caused by hacker attacks and scams in September 2025 plummeted to $22.127 million, marking the lowest monthly record since 2020. This data reflects the gradually increasing risk resistance capacity of the encryption ecosystem.

However, in stark contrast, SBI Crypto, the cryptocurrency trading platform under Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings, has been severely impacted. The platform suffered a large-scale hacker attack, resulting in losses of up to $21 million. This incident highlights that even strong traditional financial institutions may face severe security challenges when venturing into the field of encryption.

This situation of 'favourable trends, severe individual cases' reveals the core contradiction of current encryption security: as time goes by, the security audits of encryption projects, the risk awareness of developers, and the monitoring capabilities of the community are generally improving, which continuously enhances the resilience of the entire ecosystem. Low-level attack methods are becoming increasingly ineffective, and the market is gradually 'hardening' through painful lessons.

However, the massive loss event of SBI Crypto has simultaneously sounded the alarm. As a centralized entity, these institutions often manage a large amount of user assets, making them a highly attractive single attack target for hackers. Once successfully breached, the losses incurred are often staggering and have far-reaching impacts.

This event again emphasizes the importance of decentralization, while also reminding us that in the pursuit of innovation, we cannot overlook the significance of fundamental security construction. Whether traditional financial institutions or emerging encryption platforms, they need to continuously improve security measures and enhance risk prevention capabilities to establish a foothold in this rapidly developing digital asset world.
