LONDON (Bywire News) - One of the problems that afflict the crypto and blockchain sector is the number of attacks on smart contracts carried out by various methods. Some might be caused by errors; others by malicious activity. Whatever the cause, though, they both erode confidence in cryptocurrencies.
Every year, we can see how various projects and smart contracts suffer attacks resulting in millions of dollars worth of losses. Criminals often get away as they can use various techniques to hide the funds and cover their tracks.
Unfortunately, when something like this happens, recovering those lost funds can be extremely difficult. Projects often do not offer any insurance or compensation which means victims often find themselves left on their own.

The bank authorization, published Tuesday in the government's official gazette, requires those wishing to use cryptocurrencies to obtain a license.
The bank said it would consider the legality, socioeconomic interest and project characteristics of any request before granting a license, which would be valid initially for one year.
The roll-out of mobile internet three years ago has opened the way for cryptocurrency transactions in Cuba, and enthusiasts on the island are growing in number as the currenc...
