Furthermore, the article of Asahi shows that if you take into consideration only crypto networks and IoT devices, the data will show an average of 1,702 hacks per sensor per day in 2018 which means that there is almost a doubling in the percentage since 2017. The report also points out:

 “The number of intrusions of networks used for sending and receiving e-mail messages and browsing websites has remained at about the same level since 2016.”

To continue, according to the report, the location of the attackers shows that nearly 20 percent have come from Russia, 14 percent from China, 12 percent from the United States, 6 percent from the Netherlands and 5 percent from Ukraine. The attacks coming in from Japan itself accounted for about 1.5 percent total.

As DC Forecasts previously reported, more than 6,900 cases of alleged money laundering related to crypto were reported to the Japanese authorities in 2018 which is ten times more cases than the previous year (2017).

In the meantime, five of the largest banks in Japan started collaborating in order to launch a financial services infrastructure that is based on the distributed ledger technology (DLT).
