Personal information is private, usually stolen will be traded on the dark web, and the basic protection is only after the fact to use the damage to the personal information laws of various countries as a reason to file a claim against Coin Cloud, such as in the European Union can be strengthened by GDPR and MiCA to strengthen the protection of rights, but these are all after the fact! Compliance is the first priority for Comxper, and in addition to anti-virus software and firewalls, please also put the NDR solution — Secorion into it, and the SOAR implementation part will also be added to it, but what cannot be prevented is the human nature, please remember!
