Cryptocurrency exchange "Zaif" experiences 6.7 billion yen worth of virtual currency outflow.
Continuing from Coincheck
virtual currency has flowed out from Zaif as well
.
67 billion yen worth of virtual currency leaked on the 14th
and the leaked coins are
・Bitcoin (42 billion yen leaked)
・Bitcoin Cash
・Monacoin
as a result.
The cause is the same as Coincheck,
where the online hot wallets stored in
hot wallets were hacked and some currencies
were leaked.
For about 5 billion yen,
Fisco will compensate,
so assets to customers are expected to be fully compensated.
However, the compensation内容 will involve forced settlement
whether the refunds will be in Japanese yen remains
to be watched in the future.
I also had Nem in Coincheck stolen,
and it was refunded in yen,
so profits may become taxable.
And Zaif’s management going forward
seems to be handled by Fisco,
but Zaif appears to continue operating independently
as a exchange as before.
In other words, there is currently no
merger with Fisco’s exchange,
according to statements from Fisco’s president.
Storing cryptocurrency is not limited to exchanges;
using personal wallets to diversify risk
is important.
With that in mind,
I have summarized in an article the details of Zaif’s
cryptocurrency leak and how to store crypto assets.
