05 · Sources and checks

Where this comes from and what was cleaned

Collected by script from five public sources, merged, then checked: across sources, on chain for every known attack transaction, and by repeating the whole run, which must agree with the last one before anything is published. Nothing is typed in by hand except attribution notes, each tied to its statement.

Read the numbers carefully

Losses are US dollars at the time, as the sources give them; when sources disagree the range is shown and the incident is marked B. A single source for a loss of $500M or more is kept out of totals until a second source confirms it. "Returned" is what a source states, which can mix funds given back, frozen and covered by the victim. Attack transactions and addresses are checked but not published here.
