This intrusion enabled them to steal sensitive customer information and subsequently siphon off nearly $38 million from 571 victims.

Industry experts argue that enhanced oversight could mitigate risks associated with cyber intrusions and protect consumer assets. Furthermore, a closer examination of the practices associated with these services could safeguard potential victims.
