Since the beginning of 2017, investors have invested in ICO $ 1.6 billion, of which $ 150 million went to fraudsters.
Thus, more than 3000 people became victims of intruders, on average each lost $ 7,500.

"If you invest in ICO, then in one case out of ten you will be stolen money," the newspaper notes.
In addition to hacking, funds from crypto-currency investors are often lured out by phishing: scammers create a site, I have a couple of letters in the original name of the platform that sells tokens.

Also, cybercriminals send potential investors information on ICO of real companies by e-mail and in instant messengers, replacing data of real owners with addresses of their electronic wallets.

Recall, earlier this week, about breaking and stealing more than $ 400,000 was reported by the Enigma block-start team.
