This statistic is from PeckShield. Is their data accurate? Are there any missed reports?

DxSale’s launchpad can also be “done” to 7.3 million—what about the contract audit?

THORChain I remember having issues before, it’s considered a repeat offender.

Has it decreased from 647 million to 80 million? Is the defense stronger now or did the hackers take a vacation?
