The biggest problem facing electronic currencies is the attack of criminals and the theft of platforms and users of currencies
This has a lot of impact on electronic currencies and many lose their money
There were a lot of thefts and a lot of scams spread
Who deceive people and steal their money
This year only $ 1.1 billion was stolen in cryptocurrency
This is a huge number
And adversely affected these currencies
It was so easy for these criminals
They use the so-called dark grid to steal

"It's surprising just how easy it is without any tech skill to commit cybercrimes like ransomware," Carbon Black Security strategist Rick McElroy told CNBC. "It's not always these large nefarious groups, it's in anyone's hands."

When you use these currencies, your transactions are hidden
So you can not track your transactions
Such thefts do not depend solely on organized cartels or criminal groups
But it can be done by any engineer who has experience and is unemployed and wants to make money
Or anyone who knew the technique well and used it for theft purposes
Unfortunately, there is no law that protects the rights of people and their money, such as conventional banks
When the theft is done, your money will be lost forever
Therefore, there should be laws that protect the participants and save their money and rights

"Usually we rely on banks, the tools are out there but investors need to know how to do this," McElroy said. "A lot of people are unaware in this new gold rush, people are using cloud wallets and not securing their money."

More thefts were carried out through exchanges

making up 27 percent of attacks this year.

An attack occurred for these currencies in Mt.Gox
Which declared bankruptcy in 2014 after the biggest theft in the world of currencies
Losing 750,000 bitcoin to its users and 100,000 from the stock market itself.

This January, hackers stall $ 530 million worth of a lesser-known cryptocurrency called NEM from Japanese exchange Coincheck. In December, a South Korean cryptocurrency exchange called Youbit lost 17 percent of its digital assets and its parent Yapian later filed for bankruptcy.

The most important attacks were in the United States followed by China and then the United Kingdom
