Gate News update: On April 3, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) officially released on April 4 the “Guidelines for Strengthening Cybersecurity Measures for Businesses Such as Crypto Asset Exchange Services.” The guidelines were developed based on 18 public submissions collected from February to March 2026, with the protection of investors’ assets as the top priority, and propose a three-tier security hardening framework of “self-help (individual operators), mutual help (self-regulatory oversight bodies), and public support (regulators).” The FSA said that cyberattacks have evolved from simple theft of signature keys to highly organized methods such as social engineering attacks and supply-chain intrusions, and that traditional cold-wallet management can no longer reliably ensure security. Going forward, the FSA will conduct threat-driven penetration testing (TLPT) on some major firms and also plans to revise its transaction guidance to improve cybersecurity staffing and external audit standards.
