This is a threat to the government, and they are trying to regulate it in different regions of the world, and I see that it will be more regulated in the future. The increase in this moment will reduce the number of new attacks.
We had two options and it was either the government was going to ban bitcoins and crypto tradings or they were going to regulate it even though we are going to lose some perks like doing things anonymously in exchanges. So i think regulations are actually the best way to go.
