Immunefi CEO: On-chain security is improving, but humans are becoming the biggest vulnerability in crypto security
According to CoinDesk, Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador stated in a recent interview that despite the ongoing rise in cryptocurrency losses, on-chain security is improving. The year 2025 is recorded as the year with the most severe hacking attacks, but the biggest security failures did not stem from on-chain code, but rather from operational mistakes in Web2, such as passwords, private keys, infected devices, and human errors.As code becomes increasingly difficult to exploit, the main attack surface for crypto security in 2026 will be people, with human factors becoming the weak link that Web3 participants must prioritize. This view aligns with findings from a report by Chainalysis.The report indicates that cryptocurrency losses due to scams and fraud amounted to approximately $17 billion in 2025. Among these, identity impersonation scams increased by 1400% year-on-year, while AI-driven scams were 450% more profitable than traditional schemes.
