Theft of 530 million dollars in cryptocurrencies

         

Hello friends you have to be careful where we keep our cryptocurrencies the hackers are on the attack ....

The cyber-attack committed last week against one of the main Japanese digital markets, in which virtual NEM coins disappeared worth about 530 million dollars, showed the lack of reflexes of the exchange houses and the regulatory bodies to prevent these cases.

The normative laxity in Japan about the cryptocurrency operators and their security gaps allowed the hacking of the Coincheck exchange house, the biggest so far in a sector in full bloom, were two of the main causes as recognized by experts in the sector.

While the authorities try to follow the trail of the computer attack, which generated losses to some 260,000 users of Coincheck, analysts say that more could be done to avoid hacking and warn of the high risk that similar cases will reoccur.

"We are likely to see more attacks of this kind," warns Hikaru Kusaka, co-founder of Blockhive, a developer platform based on blockchain technology and also an advisor to the Japanese government.

"The idea of the Government was to facilitate innovation in the sector, instead of applying too restrictive laws that could be an obstacle," says Kawai, who adds that Tokyo opted for a "surprisingly progressive" attitude to cryptocurrencies that until now had not echo in no other State.
