In 2023, [nearly $1B](https://www.techopedia.com/crypto-hacks-and-scams-dominate-the-2023-crypto-landscape) in crypto assets have been lost or stolen through security exploits, with Q3 being [reported](https://cointelegraph.com/news/700-m-loss-crypto-hacks-exploits-scams-q3-certik) as the quarter with the highest losses from security incidents, so far — a harsh reminder that securing your crypto assets is not something to be taken lightly.
