    Hackers stole 60 million USD in crypto coins form the Japanese based Zaif crypto exchange – the latest in a series of cyber attacks, that continue to plague the emerging crypto market.

    The theft happened last week, but was announced yesterday by Tech Bureau Corp., the company behind Zaif crypto exchange.

    Of the nearly 60 million USD worth of stolen coins, about 19,6 million (2,2 billion yen) belonged to the exchange, while the rest belonged to clients. The stolen coins were Bitcoins – nearly 6000, as well as some Bitcoin Cash and Monacoin.

    This is the second major crypto exchange attack in Japan for 2018, since the theft of 500 million USD worth of digital coins from Coincheck Inc. in January.
