Admin’s Note

The recent hacking incident at Binance has sent shockwaves through the world of cryptocurrency. The suspicion of North Korean involvement, in particular, raises concerns about international security threats. Like Chaco’s question, we need to consider what measures can be effective. While strengthening security systems is essential, it is also important to raise users’ awareness of their own security. Ensuring the safety of cryptocurrency in the future will be a challenge for the entire industry.
