Financial losses from crypto thefts significantly increased last month, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. In February, hackers stole around $360.83 million worth of crypto assets, up from just $182.54 million in January. The crypto gaming platform PlayDapp (PLA) accounts for the largest share of the stolen funds with $290 million in losses from two security breaches. The automated crypto exchange FixedFloat comes in second with $25.85 million in losses. Jeff „Jihoz“ Zirlin, the founder of the blockchain-based game Axie Infinity (AXS) and gaming-centric Ethereum (ETH) sidechain Ronin (RON), takes the third spot with a personal loss of $9.7 million. Layer-1 blockchain Shido (SHIDO) and stablecoin protocol Seneca (SEN) also suffered losses of $7.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Only a small percentage of the stolen assets has been recovered.
