Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Own For 2019

It’s not just the volatile price of bitcoin that can keep cryptocurrency investors up at night.

Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of digital currencies have been stolen by hackers in recent months. Experts say the problem is unlikely to go away anytime soon, and fears about security have hit prices this year.

In the latest incident, South Korean exchange Coinrail announced Monday that it had been targeted by cyberthieves, who stole about 30% of its virtual currencies.

“I expect hackers to continue to target crypto exchanges,” said Henri Arslanian, the head of financial technology in Asia at consultancy PwC. “The rewards are high, and some of these exchanges grew so fast” that they haven’t yet implemented proper security, he added.

In January, Japanese exchange Coincheck said hackers stole more than $500 million worth of cryptocurrency. Last year, two bitcoin exchanges went bankrupt after falling victim to similar breaches.

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court may allow states to create laws for legalized sports betting.

Source: Shutterstock

The decision from the court has to do with a law that New Jersey was seeking to pass in 2014. This law would remove the prohibitions around running sports gambling at casinos and race tracks.

The law was struck down in courts, but New Jersey continued to file appeals. Finally in 2017, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. The result of the decision is seven of nine justices ruling in its favor. This had the court striking down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act enacted in 1992 to protect the integrity of sports.

The result of this ruling from the Supreme Court means that New Jersey can move forward with its law. However, it also does more. It opens the door for other states to push for legalized sports betting. Prior to this, Nevada was the only state that allowed sports betting.
