Recently, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had warned that attacks by North Korean hackers on the crypto segment are increasing. Last month, Indian crypto exchange WazirX was targeted by hackers. There are reports of North Korean hackers being involved in this. In this case, funds worth about $230 million were stolen from WazirX. The FBI said, “Hackers find their victims through their activity on social media. After this, the victims are trapped in various ways.” To avoid these hackers, the FBI has advised not to store information related to login, password and private keys of cryptocurrency wallets on devices connected to the Internet. This matter also had an impact on the crypto market. This raised questions about security in crypto exchanges.
