“Through various measures such as the sale of cyber comprehensive insurance (3 billion [won]) and the operating rights of the company, the loss to members is expected to be lower than 17%… I will make every effort to minimize this,” the announcement continues.
Only a day earlier, Blockchain CEO Peter Smith CNBC viewers that the time was ripe for another major hack in the bitcoin space.
“We see attacks and breaches about every six months – major breaches – so we’re probably due for one in the next month or two,” he told the network.
