The leading blockchain cybersecurity firm Hacken upgrades its business model and migrating onto VeChain
The leading cybersecurity firm based in Kyiv, Hacken, announced a complete overhaul of their current business model with the guidance of strategic incubator CREAMethod and is migrating their blockchain-related operations onto VeChainThor Blockchain.
Hacken was first introduced in 2017 as a fightback towards hackers who were responsible for one of the biggest ransomware hacks, ‘Petya.’ Hacken is an organization composed of a community of over 2000 white hat hackers, full-time cybersecurity experts, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Over the last two years, the Hacken team’s Hackenproof Bug Bounty Platform, which, with the help of the community resulted in world-class white hat hackers protecting more than 200 companies and projects including The US Department of Defense, AirAsia, and TradingView. Hacken is also the only cybersecurity partner of the Data Accountability & Transparency Alliance (DATA). DATA is an alliance co-founded by Coinmarketcap.com, with members consisting of 23 major cryptocurrency exchanges and Hacken as the only strategic entity.
Hacken also focuses on exchange legitimacy and blockchain security. Hacken owns and runs exchange research and ranking website CER.live, which focuses on exchange trading volume legitimacy, exchange cybersecurity, and exchange backend trading analysis.
Hacken and CREAM had worked closely in the past three months to create a brand-new cybersecurity product which will allow any cryptocurrency holder to take their cybersecurity to the next level in a revolutionary way. The product is called Hacken Ai.
The HackenAi (pronounced Hacken’Eye’) product is designed in every way to fit into the modern cybersecurity landscape. It is a 360°-cybersecurity-companion product that takes a proactive approach of user cybersecurity. It consistently watches all potential threats and malpractices, immediately prompts users with timely, detailed information, and suggested steps to take in mitigating the risks of exploitation. It also has a preventive approach to educate users to take charge of their digital assets to achieve a 99.9% level of protection against all known cybersecurity threats.
Over the past year, the Hacken team has been deliberating over migration options to all major blockchain platforms. After evaluation, Hacken believes the VeChainThor Blockchain to be the best available option in the market due to the following reasons:
- Security. Hacken was a security auditor of VeChainThor Blockchain protocol
- Technology. Unlike any other blockchains, VeChainThor’s Multi-Party Payment (MPP) and Multi-Task Transaction (MTT) brings greater accessibility and will be critical enablers of mass adoption.
- Enterprise adoption. DNV GL, PWC, Deloitte, and many other corporations are actively working together with VeChain in pursuit of blockchain mass adoption.
- VeChain Ecosystem. VeChain has an active community of projects build on the VeChainThor blockchain like OceanEx, 8Hours, Plair, Safe Haven, and more.

Elizabeth Warren Urges Treasury Secretary Yellen to Implement Strong AML/CFT Measures for Stablecoins
In a recent communication directed to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, US Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly advocated for the incorporation of robust Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) measures specifically tailored for stablecoins. Senator Warren’s correspondence underscores the critical importance of adopting the full array of AML tools outlined by the Treasury Department in a prior November 2023 communication to Congress.
Senator Warren has underscored the burgeoning threat posed by cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins, to national security. She has specifically drawn attention to instances where entities like Iran and Hamas have turned to cryptocurrencies as a means to raise funds and support terrorist activities. To effectively address this evolving threat landscape, Senator Warren asserts that any forthcoming crypto legislation must encompass comprehensive AML/CFT authorities as requested by the Treasury Department.
Moreover, Senator Warren has made reference to the testimony provided by Deputy Secretary Adewale O. ‘Wally’ Adeyemo before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. In this testimony, Adeyemo emphasized the critical need for additional AML authorities to combat the growing menace posed by cryptocurrencies. Senator Warren has pointed out that the exclusion of crucial actors within the digital asset ecosystem, such as miners and validators, from AML/CFT requirements could potentially enable nefarious actors to exploit the increased crypto trading facilitated by stablecoin legislation.
Senator Warren’s steadfast stance on the regulation and oversight of cryptocurrencies is aligned with her prior efforts aimed at curbing illicit activities and safeguarding consumers, the financial system, and national security interests. She has persistently advocated for the closure of loopholes in AML regulations that allow sanctioned entities like Iran to derive revenue through crypto transactions. Furthermore, Senator Warren has consistently voiced concerns regarding the exploitation of cryptocurrencies in terrorist financing schemes and has called for the implementation of stronger regulatory frameworks to protect both consumers and national security interests within the realm of stablecoin-related legislation.
