There’s been a noticeable cluster of DeFi exploits recently, with multiple protocols affected over a short period. Numbers below are approximate and based on publicly reported incidents worth verifying individually.

Recent incidents

Kelp DAO: ~$292M

Drift: ~$285M

Grinex: ~$13.7M

Rhea Finance: ~$7.6M

Wasabi: ~$5M

Volo: ~$3.5M

Purrlend: ~$1.5M

CoW Swap: ~$1.2M

Aethir: ~$423K

Silo: ~$392K

Scallop: ~150K SUI

One reported cause in a recent case (Wasabi) was a compromised deployer EOA, which highlights how off-chain key management can still be a major vulnerability even when smart contracts are audited.

Estimated total impact

~$800M+ in reported losses over a relatively short timeframe

Security continues to be one of the biggest challenges in DeFi, especially around:

Key management (EOAs, multisigs)

Smart contract vulnerabilities

Bridge and cross-chain risks

If anyone has confirmed sources or corrections for specific incidents, would be useful to refine this list further.
