U.S. Treasury to loop in crypto sector on hacker warnings shared with traditional firms

CoinDesk·1h ago·Hope

What Happened

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is offering crypto businesses access to the same cybersecurity threat information provided to traditional financial institutions. The move follows a recommendation from the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. Eligible crypto firms can receive timely, actionable information about cyber attacks from Treasury's Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection. The crypto sector has faced billions in annual theft from hackers, including recent incidents on Solana and Drift platforms.
