I think this type of news is the one we should take strong precautions with because it destructs the strength and growth of cryptocurrencies. This, alone, creates panic within the cryptocurrency market, much more if it will be publicized in papers of general circulation. Surely then people who do not even know well about cryptos will think it is a scam right before they even know it which is really a negative impact for all investors and prospective investors. Nonetheless, I think it is best to be on guard of our crypto assets before we lose what we have. More so, before the media blows up all facts. Anyway this is a privacy concern which we should be very cautious about, especially when using devices that are not our own in the first place. Our privacy is 95% within our control, save the remaining 5% to those inevitable hacks and other technologically-linked modus operandi.
Even though this type of news may create panic, I think that it would help us become more cautious of our own holdings. It does not suggest that cryptocurrency is a scam but rather that there have been attempts to acquire it through illegal means. This should not discourage others but instead make them more aware. Despite the anonymity of crypto, it's still subject to hacks or theft. Knowing that this can be done, we should be more secure and choose which exchanges to use.
