Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/reaction-turbulent-week-crypto-markets\/\">Japanese regulators halted operations<\/a> on several high-profile exchanges amid concerns about their security protocols. The move followed a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coincheck-suffers-largest-crypto-hack-history-thanks-centralized-exchange\/\">severe hack on Coincheck<\/a>, a Japan-based crypto exchange, that was victimized in January.<\/p>\n<p>In an official statement on their website, <a href=\"https:\/\/coincheck.com\/\">Coincheck<\/a> expressed regret over the incident and promised to make reparations to its customers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe would like to offer our sincerest apologies to our customers, other exchanges, and everyone else effected by the illicit transfer of NEM which occurred on our platform. We vow to take action on all of the points listed in the business improvement order handed down from the Financial Services Agency.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The as of yet unidentified thieves stole 523 million units of <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/nem\">NEM\u2019s digital currency<\/a>, and the hack impacted 260,000 Coincheck customers. At the end of January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-japan-cryptocurrency-cybercrime\/exclusive-coincheck-hackers-trying-to-move-stolen-cryptocurrency-executive-idUSKBN1FJ28Y\">Reuters<\/a> reported that the hackers\u2019 digital wallet was identified, but the funds have not been recovered.<\/p>\n<h2>Making Reparations<\/h2>\n<p>On Monday, Coincheck began repairing the damage when it used $435 million of its own money to compensate customers for their lost funds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36127\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36127\" style=\"width: 301px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-36127\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/coincheck-logo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/coincheck-logo-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/coincheck-logo-1-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36127\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coincheck is a bitcoin wallet and exchange service headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, founded by Koichiro Wada and Yusuke Otsuka.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/hacked-japanese-cryptocurrency-exchange-pays-back-customers-1520917328?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=6\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>, the payment was higher than the current market value but less than its value at the time of the hack. This move was in line with Coincheck\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/corporate.coincheck.com\/2018\/01\/31\/36.html\">official statement<\/a> posted on their website at the end of January.<\/p>\n<p>Although the two incidents are different in many ways, Coincheck\u2019s handling of the incident reflects the lessons learned from the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ceo-will-make-almost-billion-bankruptcy\/\">Mt. Gox hack<\/a> in 2014. The company was immediately forthright with information and pledged to make reparations.<\/p>\n<h3>To an extent, Coincheck seems to have buoyed its reputation rather than crumble into a public relationships disaster like Mt. Gox and its leadership did.<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s not to say that Coincheck is completely absolved. Its development team was twice warned by Japanese regulatory bodies to improve their security and oversight protocols. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/japan-regulators-order-stronger-security-after-coincheck-hack-1517204406\">the Journal<\/a> headline eloquently put it, \u201cJapan\u2019s cryptocurrency whiz kid faces $530 million reckoning.\u201d In a blog post about the theft, NEM notes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe cause of the breach\u2026was a form of malware that had infected the company\u2019s internal computer systems.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Getting Back to Business<\/h2>\n<p>After announcing the customer payments, Coincheck resumed withdraws and sales of a select batch of cryptocurrencies including <a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a>. However, new user accounts cannot be created, and only limited activity is allowed on the platform.<\/p>\n<h3>The entire episode reflects one of the burgeoning concerns for the prolific crypto markets \u2013 consumer confidence in exchanges.<\/h3>\n<p>While cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology that powers them becomes more popular and capable, crypto exchanges must develop and mature as well. If investors can\u2019t have confidence in the exchanges, then the entire arrangement is a nonstarter for most people.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, making suitable reparations is an important and necessary next step. The high monetary and reputation cost just might be the incentive needed to encourage exchanges to do more to secure their platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto exchanges have been in the news a lot lately, and not for the right reasons.
