DMM Bitcoin, a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange, faced a devastating security breach leading to a loss of over $300 million in Bitcoin. The breach, identified as the seventh-largest crypto hack by Chainalysis, has raised concerns about the vulnerability of digital assets in the market. Following the breach, Japan's Financial Services Agency instructed DMM Bitcoin to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the incident and take necessary precautions to protect customers from potential losses in the future. This breach comes amidst ongoing challenges for Mt. Gox, another Japanese exchange, in repaying investors after a major breach in 2014 that led to a $470 million loss.
