How we count

  • Only incidents CMZ has investigated and written up in full. Each row links to the story.
  • The loss is the amount taken at the time of the hack. Money later returned or frozen is not subtracted.
  • Tokens created out of nothing and never sold count as $0, because no real money left.
  • Two stories about one hack, and round-ups, are counted once.
