CoinWorld News reports that, according to market sources, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has officially announced the "Guidelines for Strengthening Cybersecurity in Crypto Asset Exchanges and Related Activities." The guidelines are based on 18 opinions collected during a public consultation from February to March 2026, with the primary goal of protecting investor assets. They propose a three-layer security enhancement framework: "Self-help (individual operators), Mutual help (self-regulatory organizations), and Public help (regulatory authorities)." The authorities point out that current cyberattacks have evolved from simple signature key thefts to highly organized methods such as social engineering attacks and supply chain intrusions, making traditional cold wallet management insufficient to ensure security. Moving forward, the FSA will conduct Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) on some major operators and plans to revise operational guidelines to improve cybersecurity personnel deployment and external audit standards.
