Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines several significant hacks and attacks on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges (CEX). The cases illustrate how cybercriminal tactics and exchange security measures have evolved over time, such as the transition from hot to cold storage and the importance of multi-signature wallets. Key events discussed include breaches at exchanges like Bitfloor, MintPal, and Poloniex, underscoring the need for enhanced cybersecurity protocols and regulatory oversight.
