Crypto 2020: What to Be Wary of As We Enter the New Year
As we say goodbye to 2019 and enter 2020, we can begin to see a familiar trend take hold of the crypto industry. The internet is filled to the brim with both severely optimistic and catastrophic statements regarding the future of crypto, which points to a much larger problem at hand. Those who are just coming into the space may be more susceptible to relying on bad investment advice or potential crypto scams. If you're looking to improve your crypto knowledge and safety in this next decade, let's take a look at what you should be wary of as we enter the new year.
https://preview.redd.it/jjetm5ue43d41.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf1142ce3bac88b0ce3374128fcfd43a8b306cc0
1. Cryptocurrency Price Predictions
There are a lot of "experts" out there that believe they hold the key to understanding the future prices of Bitcoin and other digital assets. They then share this information online via their social media channels and people often listen to this advice, implementing it into their own trading strategy so that they don't miss out on the next big price jump or dive. The problem? While there are some great analysts out there, you should never take investment advice at face value, especially if it is given to you by someone who is not a financial expert.
When you pay attention to the noise that tells you Bitcoin is going to reach $30,000 in 2020 or that the entire crypto ecosystem is going to completely fall apart, you put yourself at risk of losing the money that you have invested. Always proceed with caution when you invest and avoid any websites or sources telling you what you should be doing with your money that do not have the proper background or authority.
2. Potential Security Hacks and Scams
Where there is money, there is the opportunity for malicious characters to come in and find a way to steal it from others. Over the course of this past year, we have seen this happen in many different ways, from the Binance hack that stole approximately $40 million away from the popular exchange to the shockingly abundant number of ransomware cases in which hackers would lock and erase data unless the requested amount of Bitcoin is paid out. Although these issues are bad enough on their own, there are always new scams being invented to steal away crypto from investors. If there is anything to focus on when we enter 2020, security is certainly at the top of the list.
3. New Platforms Promising Profit
Although we are out of the age of ICO's, which have only proven over time that fraudulent projects are easy to launch and can still attract investors, that doesn't mean that every project that comes out is going to be one that we can put our faith in. In general, it's best to only trust platforms that have already demonstrated their reliability and have established themselves in the industry. When it comes to new platforms that are promising profits or offering their services, approach with caution and only invest if you feel safe.
While the cryptocurrency industry has certainly come a long way from when it first began, there are still some dangers for both new and experienced investors. If you are looking to get the most out of 2020, keep the above points in mind as you continue to use crypto in this new decade.

Hacker Attacks On Crypto Exchanges Are Going Up
2019 Records The Highest Number Of Attacks, But 2018 Was The Year With The Most Significant Amount Of Stolen Crypto
As the crypto sector seeks further ways for eliminating hacker attacks, last year, Chainalysis recorded 11 attacks on exchanges and custodial services. Despite the number of attacks, 2019 isn't as fruitful for hackers, as the total amount reached "just" $238 million. 2018, for instance, records an all-time high of crypto heists as $875,5 million worth of cryptocurrencies were stolen in only six cyber attacks.
The research team at Chainalysis came up with a report showing the number and amount of funds stolen from hacking. The group clarified that phishing attacks or sudden exit scams are not taken into consideration, as they use less-technical attacks like malware and luring victims into providing their wallet addresses and private keys. Furthermore, the Chainalysis team only took into consideration the attacks that lead to illicit activities on exchanges.
The most significant hacking attack in 2019 was on CoinBene, with total worth of $105 million through the theft of 109 different ERC-20 tokens stolen from the exchange. At the beginning, the exchange was refusing about the attack, but researchers found out the total amount of tokens was forcefully taken from Coinbene's hot wallet.
$49 million worth of Ethereum disappeared from Upbit's hot wallet. The exchange, however, stated that the stolen funds were not a part of their users` belongings, so user assets were kept securely.
Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange to date, also suffered from a hacking attack. Despite Binance's tight security measures, the hackers gained access to the hot wallet via a combination of phishing attacks and a special withdrawal algorithm to bypass Binance's security protocol.
Bitpoint lost $32 million worth of various cryptocurrencies, Bithumb got stung with $19 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) tokens. At the same time, Cryptopia suffered from a $16 million worth of ETH and ERC-20 token hit. The 11 hits also include exchanges like DragonEx, Bitrue, Vindaxm, and LocalBitcoins.
Source: Chainalysis
The Chainalysis team created a break down of occured thefts, based on the average and median amount stolen. It turns out, the number of crypto funds stolen per heist dropped drastically in 2019, when comparing it with 2018, for example. The data suggest exchanges are now increasingly aware of the situation and are trying to mitigate or at least lessen the effect of potential crypto theft.
Most of the stolen funds are going into other exchanges, then exchanged for fiat currencies. However, there are still funds, sitting in wallets, which gives law enforcement officials a chance to discover the culprits.
And as exchanges are increasing their security measures, hackers also sophisticate their methods for infiltration. Exchange operators now keep small amounts in their hot wallets, while most of the funds are locked in cold wallets. Also, exchanges are relying more on authentication procedures and transaction monitoring. Exchanges in 2019 shared more information on the crypto hack than ever before, which is beneficial for the entire crypto community.
However, hacker groups like the Lazarus project take crypto attacks to a whole new level. Believed to be behind the WannaCry ransomware attacks in 2017, as well as the 2014 Sony Pictures attack, Lazarus now uses more and more sophisticated hacking methods. Most of their hacking is based on social engineering, evolving into one of the most elaborate hacking strategies in the crypto sector. Lazarus also uses mixing pools to cover up their tracks. Mixing pools gather illicit funds and then transfers them back with a "mixed" origin for a 1-3% fee.

Crypto exchange Binance restarting services after post-hack upgrade
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced that it is back online after completing a security upgrade prompted by a recent hack.
Kicking off at 03:00 UTC Wednesday, the upgrade meant that all services were suspended during this period, according to a Binance support message. A two-hour extension to the upgrade was announced the next morning as some tasks took "longer than expected."
Deposits and withdrawals have been offline since the hack, which Binance said saw 7,000 BTC (worth about $41 million at the time) stolen from the exchange's hot wallet. Exchange customers would not be affected by the losses, Binance said.
Following the breach, CZ said in a blog post that the exchange would make "significant" changes related to its application programming interface (API), two-factor authentication (2FA) and withdrawal validation to reduce the risk of future hacks.
The exchange did not disclose full details regarding these efforts due to security concerns, but did say it's also improving risk management and know-your-customer procedures to fight phishing, among other measures at the back-end.

"GozNym" banking malware gang dismantled by international law enforcement
In a joint effort by several law enforcement agencies from 6 different countries, officials have dismantled a major global organized cybercrime network behind GozNym banking malware. GozNym banking malware is responsible for stealing nearly $100 million from over 41,000 victims across the globe, primarily in the United States and Europe, for years.
GozNym was created by combining two known powerful Trojans—Gozi ISFB malware, a banking Trojan that first appeared in 2012 and Nymaim, a Trojan downloader that can also function as ransomware. The United States has charged ten members of the GozNym criminal network, 5 of which were arrested during several coordinated searches conducted in Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. However, rest of the five defendants reside in Russia and are on the run, including one who developed the GozNym malware and leased it to other cybercriminals by advertising it on underground, Russian-language, online criminal forums.
