The Philippines’ <a href="https://www.doj.gov.ph/index.html">Department of Justice</a> (DOJ) charged two former consultants for Coins.ph, a well-known crypto currency exchange, in an action shocking the Philippine bitcoin community.&nbsp; 
Russian nationals Vladimir Evgenevich Avdeev and Sergey Yaschuck are accused of launching a carefully thought out hack that led to the loss of an astounding 12.2 million XRP, valued at around PHP 340 million (about $7 million USD).

Leveraging their former consulting positions at Coins.ph, Avdeev and Yaschuck allegedly used their thorough awareness of the company’s network infrastructure and security systems.&nbsp; 
Investigators said that this insider information let them have illegal access to the company’s computers by bypassing security protocols. 
“The recorded suspicious system logins create a clear picture,” said a panel prosecutor in an eight-page ruling outlining the accusations.&nbsp; 
“The offenders had a close knowledge of our network architecture, safe access mechanisms, and server infrastructure.”&nbsp; 
The DOJ thinks that this careful preparation distinguishes this case from usual intrusions and emphasizes the alarming trend of insider threats in the bitcoin sector.

The Coins.ph incident reminds us sharply of the cybersecurity issues the developing Philippine bitcoin market faces.&nbsp; 
The case emphasizes the importance of strong security policies inside virtual currency exchanges especially in relation to outside consultants who can have privileged access. 
“This event emphasizes the need of giving cybersecurity top priority in the sector,” said a PBA spokesman. Calling for an immediate meeting to address possible preventative actions and cooperation with government agencies to strengthen cyber defenses, the PBA, an industry advocacy organization,
