Report Shows Decrease in Crypto Crimes but Increase in Ransomware Attacks Could Result in $898.6 Million Loss by Year End

A recent report by Chainalysis reveals that crypto-related crimes have decreased by 65% compared to the same period in 2022, mainly due to a drop in crypto scams and dark web market activity.

However, ransomware attacks have surged in the crypto market, resulting in a loss of at least $449 million through June, and the report predicts that attackers could steal around $898.6 million by the end of this year if such attacks continue at the current rate.

The increase in ransomware attacks is attributed to "big game hunting," which targets large entities with significant financial resources. It is unclear from the provided code snippet how AdPushup determines ad content or if there are any restrictions or guidelines for its use on the website.
