AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
The two security firms may use different statistical methodologies, so the incident counts and loss amounts differ slightly, but both sets of data show that September losses exceeded 766000000 USD. The report also noted that Liquid Network some funds had been returned, so the amount at the time of the incident may not equal the final unrecovered loss.
Why it matters to readers
The occurrence of multiple large-scale thefts and exploit incidents in a single month indicates that crypto asset platforms, networks, and wallet users face a relatively high risk of security-related losses; the return of funds can also affect the final loss amount.
