The ever-evolving world of finance has been rocked to its core with the advent of digital currencies. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have captured the imagination of the public and financial institutions alike.

Historically, the intersection of finance and technology has always been a lucrative target for cybercriminals. From the infamous breaches at Equifax and JP Morgan to the more recent SolarWinds hack, these incidents underscore the vulnerability of financial<\/a> systems.
