1. The attacks on cryptocurrency platforms by professional hacker teams (such as Lazarus) will continue to intensify, mainly using advanced social engineering attacks.

3. There will be more malware-as-a-service (MaaS) attacks targeting cryptocurrencies. After RedLine Stealer, variant attacks are currently being promoted and sold in the cybercriminal underground.
4. Various crypto asset thieves will increase and develop further, more advertisements will be developed and sold in the underground market, and the industry chain will become more mature.
