Analysts say the amount stolen is $22 million more than the previous record month, September. Then the hackers stole more than $308 million. However, the amount stolen in November of this year is less than in November 2022, the report says.
Almost all successful attacks occurred on projects on the Ethereum blockchain. The cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex, which belongs to Tron founder Justin Sun, lost the most money. The attackers managed to withdraw $126 million in cryptocurrency.
Poloniex was followed by Sun-linked cross-chain bridge Heco and crypto exchange HTX (lost $86.5 million and $26.4 million, respectively). In total, in November, structures associated with this crypto businessman lost almost $240 million.
The day before, Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, denied reports of illegal financing and connections with the TRON Foundation, HTX and Justin Sun. The firm sent an open letter to US senators in response to allegations of money laundering and terrorist financing.
