U.S. Treasury to loop in crypto sector on hacker warnings shared with traditional firms
Summary
The U.S. Department of the Treasury is extending its cybersecurity information-sharing services to the cryptocurrency industry to mitigate the growing threat of digital attacks. Previously reserved for traditional financial institutions, this free service from the Treasury's Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection provides timely, actionable intelligence. This initiative follows a recommendation by the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets and aims to foster a more secure digital asset ecosystem. The move comes as the crypto sector faces frequent and high-stakes breaches, including significant thefts by state-sponsored actors, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced security measures as crypto becomes increasingly integrated into the global financial system.
