Crypto Hacks & Exploits Database

   

Every major crypto hack in one searchable, exportable database. 540+ incidents from DefiLlama — amount lost, chain, attack technique, classification, target type, bridge-hack flag and whether funds were returned — as clean CSV/Excel rows.

For security researchers, auditors, journalists, insurers, risk desks and analysts who need structured exploit data instead of scattered blog posts. No API key, no proxy — one request per run.
