The world of cryptocurrency experienced its worst year for hacks in 2025 yet the problem was not with smart contracts or blockchain technology itself but with human error and negligence. While the security of blockchain networks continues to improve many incidents arose from phishing attacks compromised private keys and weak internal controls within companies and exchanges.
Experts say that the majority of losses came from situations where employees or users were tricked into giving access to funds or where basic security protocols were ignored. These attacks reveal that even the most advanced technology cannot compensate for poor operational practices and lack of awareness.
Cryptocurrency users are being urged to adopt stronger security measures including hardware wallets multi factor authentication and thorough verification of communications.
Companies are also under pressure to implement stricter internal controls conduct regular security audits and provide comprehensive training for staff.
