U.S. Treasury extends cyber threat alerts to crypto firms, closing gap with traditional finance

$3.4B drained from crypto last year — bridge exploits, compromised deployer keys, socially-engineered devs — and OCCIP's answer is the same IOC feeds and network intrusion TTPs that banks get. Tradfi threat intel doesn't map to an industry where the kill chain runs through unaudited Solidity, Telegram DMs, and malicious governance proposals, and Treasury can't even define which entities in a pseudonymous, offshore-heavy industry qualify for briefings. All this while CISA's external engagement budget is being slashed — expanding one threat-sharing program while defunding the agency that does the actual bulk cyber defense work.
