Since June 2018, Segasec has intercepted more than 550 active hacker attacks.

Since December 2018, PhishFort has stopped 188 phishing sites, an average of three or four sites per day.

Recall, recently, Parity Technologies experts discovered a critical vulnerability in the JSONRPC protocol, which could potentially lead to cracking of the MyEtherWallet, MyCrypto and Infura services.
