One of the leading US cryptocurrency exchanges Kraken has obliged users to establish two-factor authentication (2FA).

Although the 2FA option has existed on Kraken since its launch in September 2013, the exchange decided to make it mandatory. Two options are available to users: the Google Authenticator app and the Yubikey hardware device.

Отметим, что платформа также работает над другими мерами повышенной безопасности, релиз которых состоится в будущем.

Одновременно с этим биржа сообщила о создании подразделения Kraken Security Labs, которое сфокусируется на аудите сторонних продуктов — аппаратных устройств, ПО и других технологий, с целью выявления уязвимостей и информирования разработчиков.

Напомним, ранее Kraken пообещала вознаграждение в $100 тысяч за информацию о пропавших средствах канадской биткоин-биржи QuadrigaCx.
