Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is looking into two major cryptocurrency exchange platforms as part of an investigation into internal oversight.
According to Japanese authorities, during the first six months of 2018, cyber thieves made off with a startling $540 million (60.503 billion yen) in cryptocurrency in Japan.
The hacker siphoned off 4.5 billion yen from user accounts and 2.2 billion yen from the company’s own assets. The three virtual currencies stolen include bitcoin, monacoin and bitcoin cash.
