Crypto analytics platform Dune has launched a new dashboard mapping the extent of crypto-related cybercrime, documenting over 5,500 incidents of hacks, exploits, and phishing scams across the blockchain ecosystem.

The platform’s “Hacks, Exploits and Social Engineering Dashboard” represents one of the most comprehensive efforts yet to quantify crime in crypto.

Dune's new tool traces an estimated $2.5 billion stolen from blockchain users since 2016, utilizing data from sources like Scamsniffer and Forta Network to compile a broad dataset on fraud.

Dune aims to bring transparency to crypto crime analytics. “We want to make data accessible and open to the community,” Hannah Curtis, Dune’s director of product, stated. The dashboard provides visibility of the staggering scale of blockchain crime and allows anyone to trace the movement of stolen assets openly.

Notably, platforms such as Tornado Cash have become significant endpoints for siphoned funds, while decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms including Sushi, Yearn, and Uniswap rank among common destinations for laundered assets.

Curtis noted that the data may underestimate the total crypto crime landscape, providing at least a ‘lower bound’ on funds lost. The dashboard offers blockchain sleuths valuable insights into how stolen funds are funneled through various channels.

"If a scammer is trying to move their ill-gotten gains and cash out or launder their funds — then that’s something that I know exchanges want to watch for," Curtis emphasized.
