PANews reported on December 7th that, according to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's Financial Services Commission is reviewing a plan to add a clause to the draft "Second Phase of Virtual Asset Legislation," stipulating that virtual asset operators will be liable for damages even if they are not at fault in the event of a hacker attack or computer accident. This plan aims to impose the same "no-fault liability" on operators of virtual asset exchanges as financial companies in response to hacker attacks or computer accidents. From 2023 to September 2025, the five major South Korean won exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX) experienced a total of 20 computer system incidents. Furthermore, a plan is currently under discussion to increase penalties for hacking incidents to the level stipulated in the Electronic Financial Transactions Act. The South Korean National Assembly is currently reviewing an amendment to the Electronic Financial Transactions Act, which proposes fines of up to 3% of a financial institution's sales revenue for hacking attacks. If this bill is passed, virtual asset operators could also face similar fines. Currently, the maximum fine for virtual asset operators is 5 billion won.PANews reported on December 7th that, according to Yonhap News Agency, South Korea's Financial Services Commission is reviewing a plan to add a clause to the draft "Second Phase of Virtual Asset Legislation," stipulating that virtual asset operators will be liable for damages even if they are not at fault in the event of a hacker attack or computer accident.

South Korea is considering legislation requiring virtual asset operators to bear "no-fault liability" for hacker attacks, with fines potentially increased to 3% of sales revenue.

Litecoin Forms Ascending Triangle: LTC Price Target $90 Breakout
Litecoin charts indicate a potential bullish move, forming an intriguing pattern. Market watchers are eyeing a significant price level, hinting at possible gains. Could the cryptocurrency be on the verge of a breakout towards $90? An analysis reveals which coins might be poised for growth amidst this trend. Powered by Outset PR, this analysis reflects the agency’s commitment to strategic, data-driven communication for the crypto industry. Litecoin Holds Steady Amid Market Fluctuations Source: tradingview Litecoin (LTC) prices currently range between $80 and $86. The coin is navigating a cautious path near its 10-day average of about $83. While the value has dipped around 5% over the week, its steady position above $80 suggests resilience. The nearest hurdle lies at $89, but if surpassed, LTC could aim for the $95 mark, representing a potential 10% increase from the lower end of its range. However, a dip below the $78 support might signal further decline. With an RSI below 35, LTC hints at being oversold, indicating a possible bounce. How Outset PR Leverages Data-Driven Approach in Crypto PR Outset PR connects market events with meaningful storytelling through a data-driven methodology rarely seen in the crypto communications space. Founded by PR strategist Mike Ermolaev, the agency approaches each campaign like a hands-on workshop—building narratives that align with market momentum instead of relying on generic coverage or templated outreach. Beyond just monitoring on-chain flows, Outset PR monitors the media trendlines and traffic distribution through the lens of its proprietary Outset Data Pulse intelligence to determine when a client’s message will achieve the highest lift. This analysis informs the choice of media outlets, the angle of each pitch, and the timing of publication. A key part of the agency’s workflow comes from its proprietary Syndication Map, an internal analytics system that identifies which publications deliver the strongest downstream syndication across aggregators such as CoinMarketCap and Binance Square. Because of this approach, Outset PR campaigns frequently achieve visibility several times higher than their initial placements. Outset PR ensures that each campaign is market-fit and tailored to deliver maximum relevance at the moment the audience is most receptive. Conclusion A current chart pattern shows strong potential for an upward move to $90 for LTC. The ascending triangle suggests bullish momentum. Market sentiment appears positive, and technical indicators support a breakout scenario. Investors are watching for a breach of the current resistance level. Traders should monitor any significant movements closely. A successful breakout could lead to continued gains. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
