protects over $190 billion in user funds, has assessed the volume of crypto funds lost on BNB Chain since its inception in September 2020.</p> <p>In total, we have seen a loss of $1.64 billion on BNB Chain since its inception. $1.27 billion was lost to hacks across 168 specific incidents, and $368 million was lost to fraud across 228 specific incidents. Most of the sum was lost through four specific incidents, including BNB Chain itself, Venus Protocol, Qubit Finance, and Uranium Finance. BNB Chain has also been a popular network for rug pulls. Despite efforts to maintain security, a surprising number of users attempt fraudulent activities in the form of rug pulls on the network.

Immunefi, the leading onchain crowdsourced security platform which protects over $190 billion in user funds, has assessed the\nvolume of crypto funds lost on BNB Chain since its inception in September 2020.\n\nIn total, we have seen a loss of $1.64 billion on BNB Chain since its\ninception. $1.27 billion was lost to hacks across 168 specific incidents,\nand $368 million was lost to fraud across 228 specific incidents. Most\nof the sum was lost through four specific incidents, including BNB\nChain itself, Venus Protocol, Qubit Finance, and Uranium Finance.\nBNB Chain has also been a popular network for rug pulls. Despite\nefforts to maintain security, a surprising number of users attempt\nfraudulent activities in the form of rug pulls on the network. Overall,\nthe volume of fraud on the BNB Chain was 2.3x that of Ethereum.\n\n[Hacking Deep Dive: BNB Chain](https://downloads.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/5qX3SLppdjBbYVPR5djEN9/445edf6384b3b8a8932383a0cc576c2f/Immunefi_Hacking_Deep_Dive_BNB_Chain_2024.pdf)\n\n### Lazarus Report \n\nThe Immunefi team has assessed the volume of crypto funds lost due to the attacks of the Lazarus Group, a North Korea-affiliated hacker group.\n\n[Immunefi Lazarus Group Report](https://downloads.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/EhGU8jztu6R938dcMfI9Q/b8e6bf8f6bdba576e547875abd916414/Immunefi_Lazarus_Group_Report.pdf)\n\n### ChatGPT Security Report \n\nThe ChatGPT Security Report provides a comprehensive overview of the current level of adoption and main use cases of the technology among the\nweb3 security community, and a description of ChatGPT-generated bug reports.\n\nHome to the largest community of security talent in the crypto space, Immunefi maps:\n\n- The use, general sentiment, and level of satisfaction towards the technology\n- Security use cases\n- Limitations and challenges when using the technology\n- Level of confidence in ChatGPT vulnerability discovery\n- Frequency of use of the technology\n- Recommendation of the technology\n- Security concerns and main threats the technology poses\n\n[Immunefi ChatGPT Security Report 2023](https://assets.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/4h5PfNP7OjWawcKVPodpWn/ff92f70576d52cbcb8df284ec51a4a40/Immunefi___ChatGPT_Security_Report_2023.pdf)\n\n### Hacks and Token Prices Report 2024 \n\nThe Hacks \u0026 Token Prices Report 2024 provides an overview of the impact of hacks on the prices of protocols’ native tokens, from 2021-2023.\n\n- [Immunefi Hacks \u0026 Token Prices Report 2024](https://downloads.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/43wSlrSTkLE2Tc7OvKs7zv/07e7afffcf295870ad5efe594685ca8f/Immunefi_Hacks___Token_Prices_Report__1_.pdf)\n\n### Hacks and Token Prices Report 2022 \n\nThe Hacks \u0026 Token Prices Report provides an overview of the impact of hacks on the prices of protocols’ native tokens during 2022.\n\n- [Immunefi Hacks \u0026 Token Prices Report](https://assets.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/JXPEJELdcOnqTDf1r55oT/ae994320f2a70ec785a7b7eaf41bf89b/Immunefi_Hacks___Token_Prices_Report.pdf)\n\n### Hacker Ecosystem Survey \n\nEvery year, Immunefi surveys the whitehat community to figure out the top challenges, interests, and motivations at play in the web3 security industry. \n\n- [The Hacker Ecosystem Survey 2024](//downloads.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/bfd2E1MdTC35yix1bcgsv/f111925a94087e737bc82757c24a0aca/Immunefi_The_Hacker_Ecosystem_Survey_2024.pdf)\n\n- [The Hacker Ecosystem Survey 2023](https://assets.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/2UICtwqfCuPHkENfBBe119/43d9438f61fb269dd9b3659cc01462f2/Immunefi_The_Hacker_Ecosystem_Survey_2023.pdf)\n\n- [The Hacker Ecosystem Survey 2022](https://assets.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/4SmQ1pERPPvDioq08ke3Zf/a3303263503c1e2fccc5b8f30db29b7c/Immunefi_The_Hacker_Ecosystem_Survey_2022.pdf)\n\n### Top Crypto Bounty and Ransom Payouts Report\n\nThe team at Immunefi has created a comprehensive crypto bug bounty report detailing the most important industry bug bounty payments to date, as well as ransom payments made by projects to malicious hackers to receive back a portion of stolen funds throughout 2022.\n\nImmunefi has also included a high-level analysis of its own paid bug report \ndatabase as a relevant overview of what the crypto bug bounty ecosystem looks like, as Immunefi is the industry leader and features the largest database.\n\n- [Immunefi Top Crypto Bug Bounty and Ransom Payments Report](https://assets.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/6Tqb2wlVnwdGYeVZX4WDmU/6b0c222b4f680ac80ea801e032894eac/Immunefi_Crypto_Bug_Bounty_and_Ransom_Payments_Report.pdf)\n\n### Top Crypto Ransomware Payments Report\n\nRansomware attacks use ransomware, which is a form of malware designed to\nencrypt files on a device or entire network and make them inaccessible. Ransomware groups carry out these attacks and then demand a ransom in\nreturn for returning control of those systems.\n\nWith the growth of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, ransomware attacks saw a\nnoticeable increase in popularity, as ransomware groups have come to believe that cryptocurrency is anonymous, untraceable, and can facilitate much larger ransom payments than traditional financial systems.\n\nImmunefi has created a comprehensive listing of the top crypto ransomware payments in the industry by reviewing open source data.\n\n- [Immunefi Top Crypto Ransomware Payments Report](https://assets.ctfassets.net/t3wqy70tc3bv/6TM5x7Uodt8bvT5MDCwEAN/8d3c887631529b4d5c36c058f6d23fae/Immunefi_Top_Crypto_Ransomware_Payments_Report.pdf)\n\n### Bored Ape Yacht Club Report\n\nThe Bored Ape Yacht Collection has succeeded in becoming the most well-known, sought after NFT project.
