21 अरब डॉलर चोरी! क्यों हैक्स का 80% हिस्सा

21 अरब डॉलर का सतह

जून 2025 में, TRM Labs की रिपोर्ट से DeFi समुदाय में हड़कंप मचा: सिर्फ पाँच महीनों में 2.1 अरब $ की संपत्तिचोरी हुई।

यह सिर्फ संख्या नहीं — प्रत्येक blockchain explorer पर ‘लाल’ सावधानी-संकेत है। मुख्यथ: 80% हानि, ‘इनफ्रास्ट्रक्चर-लेवल’ हमलों (प्राइवेट कुंजियों/फ्रंटएंड) से हुई।

मैंने पहली बार data dekha, toh socha… अब? Decentralization aur self-custody ka प्रचार, lekin billions kisi ne seed phrase share kar diya ya dev ne input field sanitize nahi kiya?

हाँ, aur worst? Average infrastructure hack dusre types se dhang se zyada chori karta hai.

प्राइवेट कुञ्‍जियाँ - हमसे ‘अचीलस’

सच-सच:आपका private key aapke bank vault ke master combination jaisa hai — lekin aapko har din use karna hai aur rahega rahasya.

Frontend attacks ek simple baat exploit karte hain: user blockchains ko directly interact nahi karte. Woh wallets websites ya apps ke through use karte hain. Agar attacker is interface ko compromise kar leta hai (jaise malicious JavaScript inject karke), toh woh funds redirect kar sakta hai jab aap sirf “Send” par click karein.

Yeh hypothetical nahi hai. Pichle mahine mein teen major DEX frontends supply chain-style code injection ke zariye hijacked hue — sabse kam software package reuse kiye gaye the.

Vaise hi, private key leaks abhi bhi tezi se badh rahe hain. Sochien “main ise sticky note par likh deta hoon” ya “mujhe cloud backup par bharosa hai”. Isliye hi small-scale thefts ka 67% yahan se start hota hai.

₹यह ₹षय = पैसा + मनःशासत्‍‍

₹यह ₹षय = paise ke alawa manahik prabhavit bhi hota hai. Har baar jab user fake wallet UI ya leaked password ke wajah se fraud ho jata hai, toh trust erode hoti hai.

Aur yeh matter karti hai — kyunki Web3 convenience ke liye nahi banaya gaya tha; yeh trustless systems tha jahan aap apne keys control karte the.

Lekin agar har attack human error ya poorly secured interfaces se aa raha ho… toh system ka saamna kon rakhta hai?

Humein better tooling chahiye: mandatory frontend audits (haan, chhoti projects bhi), browser extensions jo injection attempts detect karein (MetaMask jaisa), aur education campaigns jo tech-savvy users ke alawa sabko target karein.

Aaj Kya Kar Sakte Ho (घबड़ाहट Se Bahar)

Mera no-BS checklist:

• $500 sе over assets ki liye hardware wallet use karo.
• Seed phrases kabhi copy-paste mat karo — notepad mein auto-fill enabled ho to bhi nahin.
• Wallet connect karne se pehle website URL har baar verify karo (choti typo badi cost deti hai).
• OpenZeppelin Defender jaise tools ka upyog karke contract deployments monitor karo aur anomalies early detect karo.
• Agar app banate ho: har frontend component ko already compromised maano. Entry point par breach assume karlo.

Final Thought: Infrastructure King Hai (Aur Hum Fail Kar Rahe Hain)

The most dangerous vulnerabilities aren’t in smart contracts anymore — they’re in how we expose them to real people through flawed interfaces and poor security hygiene. The next wave of crypto innovation won’t come from faster L1s or new tokenomics models… it’ll come from systems so secure at the foundation level that even a careless user can’t break them by accident.
