In crypto world, the hacker is God

When a cyber villain affects a system, it is as unstoppable as an earthquake or pandemic. Traders, for example, who have had their cryptocurrencies and funds locked on WazirX due to a recent cyberattack are now facing the consequences. Due to these incidents, what is now coming to the fore is that unlike banks or stock exchanges, most local crypto platforms categorise ‘cyber breach’ as a ‘force majeure’ event (or, an ‘Act of God’).
