The recent attack on Orbit Chain’s cross-chain bridge has pushed up the amount of crypto stolen in December to almost $100 million, according to blockchain security firms.
On Jan. 1, blockchain security firm PeckShield said the $81.5 million cross-chain bridge exploit on Orbit Bridge meant that December was the fifth-highest month for hacks in 2023.
The exploit was also ninth-highest hack targeting a cross-chain bridge over the past three years, it said.
