Cryptocurrency: The New Bulls Eye for Cybercriminals
Coinrail, virtual currency exchange in South Korea, announced on Monday June 11th, it was hit by a cyber intrusion causing a massive loss of 30% of its digital currency.
News of this cyber-attack leads to a market price plunging for cryptocurrencies worldwide.
More than $30 billion in cryptocurrency was wiped out in 7 hours of trading (some reports estimating $37 billion).
Bitcoin was especially hard-hit trading at about $6,790 by early Monday afternoon.
This is over 10% lower than Friday's price and a staggering 66% lower than its December 2017s skyscraper-high of $19,783.
Nevertheless, the current market cap for cryptocurrencies is projected to surpass $1 trillion dollars this year.
