Japan Financial Services Agency Releases New Cybersecurity Regulations for Cryptocurrency Exchanges

According to CoinPost, the Japan Financial Services Agency (FSA) officially announced the "Policy on Enhancing Cybersecurity for Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Related Businesses." The policy prioritizes investor asset protection and proposes a three-layer security reinforcement framework: self-help (individual operators), mutual help (self-regulatory organizations), and public help (regulatory authorities). The policy emphasizes that, in addition to signature key theft (such as mnemonic phrases), social engineering attacks and infiltration by external contractors are becoming increasingly rampant, calling for strengthened response capabilities among relevant institutions. Additionally, authorities intend to incorporate cryptocurrency scenarios into a cross-industry cybersecurity drill called "Delta Wall" to enhance industry response capabilities.
