- Dune has launched a dashboard to track stolen crypto
- Known as the “Hacks, Exploits, and Social Engineering Dashboard,” it documents over 6,000 incidents
- The dashboard will display details such as hacker-operated addresses
Blockchain analytics firm Dune has launched the Hacks, Exploits, and Social Engineering Dashboard, which tracks stolen crypto across multiple blockchains. The dashboard tracks more than 6,000 incidents and includes “carefully curated datasets across chains and addresses.” Dune revealed that the dashboard is in honor of the 21st annual Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a month-long event held every year in October to raise awareness of online safety.
Over 6,000 Scammers’ Addresses Already Identified
Dune relies on data provided by reputable entities like Scamsniffer and Forta Network, with extra details showing who owns the addresses involved in scamming and hacking incidents. The dashboard also shows the number of victims and how malicious actors moved stolen funds.
At the time of writing, the dashboard shows 6,280 scammers’ addresses that have received a combined over $2.4 billion from scams, exploits, and hacks. According to Dune, most of the funds were stolen through social engineering scams between January 2023 and October 2024.
Dune noted that it aims to unearth the correlation between addresses involved in malicious activities “both before and after […] fraudulent activities.” Dune explained that analyzing this data will help understand the behavior, network, financial movement, and “the modus operandi of scammers.”
Scammers Prefer Tornado Cash and DeFi Platforms
The dashboard’s analysis of the movement of funds indicates that most of the stolen funds are deposited into coin-mixing service Tordano Cash. Another notable amount of the illicit money finds its way into DeFi platforms like Uniswap and Yearn Finance.
Speaking to Coindesk, Dune’s Hannah Curtis said that the dashboard will help, among other things, crypto exchanges to prevent their platforms from being used by scammers and hackers to move funds.
With the Dune dashboard continuously tracking the activities of crypto hackers and scammers, it’s likely that law enforcement agencies will also use the data to gain insights into how malicious actors in the crypto scene transfer funds.
