Throughout October, the cryptocurrency industry experienced a significant number of cybersecurity incidents, with over 50 crypto hacks reported according to Protos. This wave of attacks underscores the persistent security challenges facing the sector.
The scope of the incidents extended beyond the crypto space, with serious cybersecurity breaches occurring across various digital platforms. This widespread disruption highlights the interconnected nature of digital security risks.
Despite the concerning trend, the overall crypto market remained relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.67 trillion and 
Bitcoin showing a modest 24-hour gain of 0.86%. The Fear & Greed index, however, remains at 26, indicating a prevailing sentiment of fear among investors.
In the midst of this turbulent period, 
JUST (JST) has shown slight resilience, with a 24-hour price increase of 2.65% and a 7-day gain of 2.76%, maintaining a market cap of $1.15 billion. This performance suggests that some assets may be weathering the storm better than others.
The frequency and severity of these incidents raise important questions about the industry's preparedness and response mechanisms. As Cybersecurity Awareness Month concludes, stakeholders will need to focus on strengthening defenses and improving incident response to protect against future threats.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, JUST (JST) has moved from ₹13.56$0.1428 to ₹13.54$0.1427 — -0.09%.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 JST ≈ ₹14.97 (about $0.1427), up 2.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
