$ALEO Gate News reports that on April 4, the Financial Services Agency of Japan officially released the "Cybersecurity Enhancement Guidelines for Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Related Businesses" on April 3. The guidelines are based on 18 comments collected during a public consultation from February to March 2026, with the primary goal of protecting investor assets. They propose a three-layer security reinforcement framework: "self-help (individual operators), mutual help (self-regulatory organizations), and public help (regulatory authorities)." The FSA pointed 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. Going forward, the FSA will conduct threat-driven penetration testing (TLPT) on some major operators and plans to revise operational guidelines to improve cybersecurity personnel deployment and external audit standards.
